I'm pretty sure Jane Austen is not typically included in "Romance".
Of the genres, mystery is the only one I'd qualify remotely as a fan for and mostly I'd agree about the quirky detectives. I don't care for the hard-boiled ones. But if I wanted to indignantly push back I'd point to Dorothy L. Sayers, probably.
