It’s probably because romance and erotica are two of the most-read, best-selling genres. Most people in life also have romantic relationships, so it would be as odd to strip that out of every situation as it would be to strip out friendships or family.
But if you’re just saying, “People don’t want to have sexy sex while mourning their dead child,” then yes, but that’s more a criticism of bad writing than it is of the inclusion of romantic relationships.
