See this is one of those reasons that I know I'll never be a writer. I don't think these things out so clearly! I know that I've read stories where the holes were pretty big and had a few choice thoughts regarding said holes. I understand the whole idea of artistic license and etc. There are times, such as you pointed out, that the premise is beyond overlooking or being swept aside.
I've never read any of these ABO stories before since I read almost exclusively in the NCIS fandom. But there similarities I. What you comment upon here to some of the BDSM stories I've also encountered. I feel like authors such as blue raccoon and Xanthe have taken the time to think out how their dynamics would play elsewhere. In xanthe's au universe she has tried to make it plausible, if not always addressing some of the issues. In other words, I can read , enjoy, and not nitpick.
So returning to your actual theme....those are the stories that make me get all squirmy and annoyed for their expectation that I completely suspend all belief.
I hope I made sense in my comments here. If not, chalk it up to the parenting issues I've been suffering g through today!
I really enjoyed reading and thinking about what you had to say on the topic.
