I think that USUK will always be special for me just because it was the pairing that I came into the fandom on. When I started to love it I didn't know whether or not it was mainstream and really, I tend to keep away from the bulk of the 'fandom'. I like some mainstream, some not-so-mainstream, some in between, but god knows I'd never push what I like on anyone else. I can tell them why I like it but I refuse to DEFEND my ships. I used to, but then (like you), I just said I'M DONE. More open minded people plz.
Luckily I've met a lot of wonderful people in this fandom to balance out the few crazies I've come across. My Prussia is also my best friend and I'd be completely lost without her.
I don't think I could say I'm '100%' devoted to any pair, really. But that's all part of having an open mind, I think? If you're so devoted to a ship that you start taking offence over it then there's a problem there.
