A lot of the polyship fics I've read that go beyond three people tend to erase characterization for the sake of orgy porn. Sometimes it seems to be less about group or relationship dynamics and more about pushing pretty people together and assuming they'd all be happy together in a giant cuddle pile.
That's a shame, that you've stumbled upon so many fics that don't care about characterisation. But unfortunately fanfic can be a crapshoot like that - character personalities being erased for the sake of pretty people being pushed together isn't a flaw that's exclusive to polyshipping. Maybe it would just be harder to ignore in a polyshipping fic? When you've got more personalities to juggle, it might be more obvious when those personalities start feeling off.
