In the postmodern era, love has been quite forcefully stifled or (implicitly) dismissed as an uninteresting part of the human experience.
Sexuality is more liberated and represented than ever (and still unveiled constantly, to the point of absurdity) but love is poorly defined in the public conscious, owing to the fact that most people are literally too stupid to understand or REALLY experience it.
People are afraid to love, or to even truly acknowledge the existence of such a thing. So in contemporary media, we hungrily consume the idealized, slurry content of romance. Writers skirt around the subject of love by writing reductive, anxious wattpad pulp or by building fantastical, outrageous settings in which the romance takes place. Love is never addressed directly.
Love in literature is used to stimulate the unfulfilled "wanting brain" in much the same way erotica stimulates your sexual organs, but it's hardly ever explored or allowed to unfurl.
