Unfortunately, bland couples are easier to write and, therefore, easier for weak writers to write and control. A very dynamic couple is hard to control in anything long because they may take your story, series, etc, into territory that you never expected.

Based on my experience with fanfics, iCarly is the ideal example. I am a weak writer, so I found handling Seddie much, much harder than handling Creddie. Similarly, most of the stronger writers liked working with Seddie and handled it better (unfortunately, the Creddie friendship would often get the short shrift). Meanwhile, the clearly inferior DS handled Seddie decently in a limited set (the Arc), but brutally mishandled Seddie (even as a friendship) over the long haul while continuously developing Creddie.
