Because it's not enough for people like Ian and Evan to just write the existing characters. They want to have a lasting impact on the Sonic franchise, but since they're shit they can't do that through making a genuinely good and memorable story. So instead, they're trying to have a lasting impact by attaching their OCs to one of the most major characters in the franchise.
These are people who, in a literal sense, do not care about the SegaSonic game universe. They never have. If they were normal fans posting on here they'd be the type of person who shits on "Windnic" and "Windfags" because their idea of Sonic is antithetical to how the original creators viewed Sonic. If they weren't forced by Sega to comply somewhat with existing canon, they wouldn't even try. This is made extremely clear by reading both of their respective fancomics, a glimpse into what they actually desire from Sonic – which isn't Sonic at all, as it turns out.
