You probably should be calling for the abolition of the John W. Campbell Award for best New Writer, too, because its rules (which are made by the publisher of Analog, not by WSFS) do not recognize non-professional (unpaid) publication as counting toward a writer's eligibility.
There is a distinction between professional (paid) and amateur (done entirely for the love of it, not for monetary compensation) work that you don't appear to recognize.
As it happens, there are fanzines that have been known to publish fiction. It's rarely their main focus, but it does happen. And there are paid non-fiction markets in SF/F: Locus and Clarkesworld, for example.
