I don't understand what you are trying to say, so the creators show give fanservice to fans of something unpopular? also how did she ruin your Applejack episode, did that one minute of Derpy (that was later edited and censored) at the beginning of the episode really frustrate you that much? unless your referring to a different Applejack episode like 'The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000' episode where Derpy remained as a background pony.

I agree with your first statement, not everypony has to love Derpy, but to answer your question a possible reason most ponies are obsessed with Derpy could be that it was because she was a background pony that the fanbase essentially attempted to perfect by giving her a name, a personality, and even a story - basically the fanbase told Lauren Faust, the writers, the hub, and hasbro that "this is the sort of pony we want."

or maybe I'm thinking too deeply into this and Derpy is just a fad.
