As to romance being cringe-y, not everyone finds it so. Again, it's subjective. You don't like romance, that's perfectly fine. But many others do.

Romance is like flour. It's a very important ingredient, but at the same time it is a very common, not expensive, not hard to find ingredient. If you overload your recipe with flour, then you're creating something that's easy to make. The resulting cake, or quiche or whatever, will taste good, probably, but the baker cheated by including an unhealthy amount of a cheap ingredient.
