Plus the way they're often depicted as a heroic dork and a well meaning ditz now makes it even better. Hard to beat the beautiful adventurous innocence of mutual protag pairings.
And while I don't hate them, neither Lillie nor Gladion are quite as fun in that role. And anyway it's not like those two love interest archetypes are any less common than adventureshipping. Stereotypical princess and bad boy respectively.
