I'm guessing there are a couple reasons why people pursue this. One might be they have limited time for gaming, and this type of rp is important to them, so they want to make sure they are using their time well. Another might be that the most important aspect of rp for them is this type, so they want to cut to the chase and find someone on the same page.
For me personally, it holds no interest. However, that is simply because of how I choose to play T'ahlia. My background is theatrical and literary, so what interests me are stories. I look at rp as a type of improvisation. So I know who T'ahlia is, her background, and what motivates her, and all of her personal challenges. Quite honestly, it could be that it never comes up for her, because of how broken she is behind her smil. But if it did, it would be the same as I approach any storyline with her--moment to moment, and what makes sense based on what just happened. I have several plotlines in my head for her (none romantic), but no idea how they will turn out. That's the way I want it, because I don't want to know the ending of a story before I get to it. But not everyone is like that.
