I agree with your analogy and the differences between the two.

Semi-OT, but it's also interesting to point out the "cookie-cutter" formulas of some fanfic, where you can pretty much replace the names of the characters in said fic, and maybe change the setting, time, etc, and you'd get a brand new fic for a different fandom (it could even be read as original fic!), and the entire thing would a waste because there is a lack of characterizations (speech pattern, mannerism, to use your examples) to whatever fandom's character you're using. I think it is definitely important for fanfic writers to keep in mind with the importances of also making the character whole in the writing too.
