Why is so much of the high fantasy genre slow paced and requires you to read 300-500 pages before something is happening with the plot?

As someone who enjoys fantasy storyline, I just cannot fathom why so much of the genre is hung up on long and tiresome characterizations and descriptions about the setting etc. Why do authors think I'm more interested in how a castle looks like or how many generations there are to some lord than the actual plot?

I find that many authors are obsessed with small details that can take up 100+ pages that have no actual bearing on the plot.

Why?
