Cuz... that's what Sith are all about. Galactic conquest? Hayell nawh, they just wanna conquer some bootay.Â
And don't even get me started on all the "hawt" Jedi to Padawan "romance".
I'd say that applies to most MMO's these days. There was a time when such things were relatively private and kept behind closed doors - whereas these days areas such as Goldshire and The Quicksand aren't too different to what a lot of 'regular' role-players get up to.
Besides, whilst all the Jedi and Sith 'forbidden love' plots end up being incredibly common it isn't too different to how most romances in FFXIV are interracial despite such unions being frowned upon by many in the canon lore.
Of course if you try to frown upon such things IC you risk being called a 'bigot' OOC or the players involved just choose to ignore any realistic IC consequences or criticism in response to flaunting it.
I understand the appeal, however, but it's a real shame that ultimately it usually just revolves around what the players find hot rather than what would make a compelling story.
