I blame the Sonic fandom for ruining the concept of "Original characters" with their endless tsunamis of Hedgehog fan characaters. Its so bad, there is a meme where you have an OC named after you even if you don't know it, that's how many and how bad they are.
Then we had the furries enter the scene with all their OCs. And now we are the newest group to plague the internet with our onslaught of pony OCs that...quite frankly are more cringe worthy than not.
I think the reason you may not see that from a FimFiction perspective is most OCs in stories are created for as singular purpose within the limits of that story. Most don't stand out, some are created specifically to be the main characters, but for the most part they don't have any features to make them really anything beyond the confines of the literary work they belong to. And even there the OCs situation can be pretty bad.
