Why do shippers love incest so much?

There was Itachi/Sasuke, Phineas/Ferb, Germany/Prussia, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlecest, Sam/Dean Wincest, Edward/Alphonse Elric, Lewis/Wilbur Robinson, Denethor/Faramir, Merry/Pippin, Thor/Loki, Hansel/Gretel Witch Hunters, Fred/George, Ginny/Ron Weasley, Peter/Susan/Edmund/Lucy Pevensie, Percy/Annabeth, Justin/Alex Russo, Burt/Kurt Hummelcest, Yuna/Rikku, Solid/Liquid Snake, Booker/Elizabeth, Azula/Zuko, Lemongrab/Lemongrab 2, Chuckie/Kimi, Phil/Lil, Ben/Gwen Tennycest, and Mabel/Dipper Pinecest. These are all very popular ships in their respective fandoms.

Then we have Frostcest, Twincest, Hicclout, Annazel, Rapunzelsa, Elsanna, Rapunzelsanna, and now Hiccest in this fandom...

Why do people like to desperately cling to the idea of boning blood relatives when we all know that we'll never support it in real life?

I mean, yes, alternate universes could solvethat problem but we know that people don't use that, we'll just as likely write them related and still have them incest and a lot of us will want more.

I know that I will be told to just shut up and respect people ships but, seriously, what is it about giving a new meaning to the phrase "forbidden love" that feels so satisfying to us shippers anyway?
