Who exactly underlined the requirement for derivative to be considered fanwork?
And what is this assumption that people who make their own depiction of Touhou setting or characters means they don't care about the source material, or that Touhou fans has to like everything about Touhou that they are not allowed to put their own rendition or else it's not considered a fanwork? Again, who decides that?
You are aware that ZUN made the IP free and canon material to be vague and loose on purpose, right? If the sanctity of source material is so important ZUN could've just try to limit fanwork production through more solid characterization, guidelined prohibition or just taking the IP free usage altogether, but ZUN does the opposite exactly to promote creative freedom as the biggest supporter of doujin activities, especially fanworks of his own series.

The circumstances regarding Touhou and its fanworks are just different and can't be compared to common media, because Touhou is build to make fanwork flourish and vice-versa.
