It's nowhere near as marketable as het romance, and can even backfire huge.
But since they've shown they have no talent at it and don't have the balls to sell it correctly, they decided to use it as a stunt.
I mean, for fucks sake, the culimation of a relationship isn't them fighting like cats and dogs for fuck all reasons, it's the build up TOO a relationship where they can put in signals where adults can safely assume they fucked like coked up bunnies who were rolling on X offscreen and they start getting lovey dovey as fuck with the occasional blow up to their old prehatefuck ways and create a slightly adversarial relationship.
That shit sells. Can't pull a moonlighting thing where the only thing TOO the relationship was the adversarial and constant build up with no real payoff.
That and korra herself was in no way relatable to the average girl, and the ones she did relate too hated the romance with mako. Mainly because they's gay or, in the rare instance, wanted a different kind of dude.
When you do romance or shit like that for women, you have to have at the very least a dozen different dudes around each for every taste OR have a bunch of different women along with dudes and a stable relationship.
