The main issue I have with vidya romances is that a lot of them act with the main protagonist as a vessel for the player, and the romances act as pseudo-dating sim characters for the fanbase to fawn over. You do what the character likes, you choose the flirtatious dialogue options, you do the last optional quest, and bam, suddenly you’re a lovey dovey couple now and argue with a million strangers on the net about “best girl” or whatever.

I rarely, if ever, see any genuine romances between two sovereign characters that sit down and say what they love the most about each other. The closest thing I’ve seen was RDR2 in which Arthur and Mary, the most you can ever do is decide if you want Arthur to dedicate some time for an old flame, as they clearly still have feelings for each other, and it all feels so real and so bittersweet. We then see it again with John and Abigail, and it was beautiful. The player can’t choose what either of these two men say, because Arthur and John aren’t empty husks for players to roleplay as.

It's a game. You are supposed to control the character. You already have books and movies for what you want.

Not a valid argument. Videogames are an appealing medium due to being interactive and immersive, in addition to being able to move the story at your own pace.
There’s also a difference between controlling a character, and controlling an avatar. Some games let you move the protagonist, choose how the protagonist acts, decide what the character says, control what the character thinks. The scale at which you measure a character and an avatar is inversely proportional, the more you can control a character (noun), you literally lose character (verb), hence why romances in games like Baldur’s Gate 3 suck because it’s just one love interesting talking to (You) rather than two characters being genuine.
