Love has been the sole driving force for just about anything that anyone has ever been driven to do. Ever.

I understand not being into reading about characters motivated by love. To each their own and all. There's plenty of fiction without a central character burning down the world to save someone they love being written. But it's neither a literary crutch nor a trope. It's fundamental, real life, human nature.
