Because the show is allegedly "thought provoking". Being critical (NOT looking for flaws, just thinking critically) to some show can be fun (like Umineko). But as a lot of people have expressed, the show may have failed in that regard. You actually do ruin the enjoyment of watching this show if you think too much into it (someone even liken this show to a porn ). My guess though, is that the show didn't really fail regarding this since it never really tried to be that way and it was only some fans giving exaggerated review of the show.

Out of curiosity, why do people keep calling them "not blood related"? They're first cousins. Whether or not it's culturally acceptable in a given part of the world does not change the fact that it's a blood relationship.
A "sibling" usually means sharing one or both biological parents. Cousins don't normally do that. "Not blood related" here means they don't share biological parents. Normally by sharing parents, then you can't consider any romantic involvement, but with this, it's subverted.
