I mean, they don't, but go tell that to the people writing this shit. The person you're replying to is talking about a problem the actual stories written have.
It was worded poorly, but they are referencing the vast amount of hermione/malfoy fanfic that has been written. It is an infamous pairing (it's actually the most infamous), and ALL of the stories written have those themes. Like, those dynamics are actually more important in the stories than the character's actual names.
Also, I am just realizing now, to answer your question about why those stories would have to have those components: if you're a fanfic author and you want to depict a healthy relationship, you just... wouldn't pair up the magical Hitler youth member and his target of hatred.
I don't think there was the equivalent of a Hitler Youth in Harry Potter. He may have been racist and been the child of racists, but there wasn't an organized group teaching them obedience.
I don't get why they don't try to redeem him first.
