For me, the two things that brings me back to playing touhou is the music and the characters. The music is awesome and the characters are actually interesting

The art style, music, and characters are what I most enjoy about Touhou.

Hmm. That's a tough one. I would have to say that initially, the sheer ridiculousness of McRoll drew my curiosity. Afterwards, I got hooked onto the music, and the characters are quite lovable as well.

I would imagine that it has had as much success as it did because of ZUN's acceptance of the fanon, leaving it wide open for people to upload their own doujinshi. With this sort of opportunity, it makes sense that people would dive into Touhou. There are incredibly malleable characters (especially considering ZUN's art style) and a great soundtrack to sample from. It basically serves as a catalyst for anybody considering creating artwork, music, etc, and there are nearly no limits. That's why there's so much content out there. The way the content branches out so much draws more and more people in, and well, I suppose it just snowballs from there.
