You write them because they sell. I suppose if you're financially independent you could sit and write whatever you wanted and not care one whit whether it was published or read. But if you write as a profession you write what people read and what will be published.

I'm a woodworker by avocation now. At one time I did it semi-professionally. I'd much rather have built unique one of a kind items of furniture and art. What people BUY is standard furniture and cabinetry. So if you want to make a living at woodworking you do standard pieces and cabinets. Same applies to writing.
