As Indy was saying, the tagging numbers don't necessarily reflect what's there -- the evidence suggests that not all shipfics (or shippy art, etc.) posted here are tagged as such. So while there is a lot of gen, I don't think it's quite as a high a proportion as those numbers would suggest.
It seems B2MeM attracts a different kind of writer to mainstream fanfic
That's one possibility. It's also possible that writers who usually write shipfic or porn are less likely to write those works for B2MeM, for whatever reasons.
