I do think it is true that a lot of people don't realize other relationships can have deep bonds without being shippy. And yes, it is harder to write about two people being close without making it seem shippy; heck, sometimes that's a problem IRL.
But I don't think that's true of all smut writers - I know many who still value friendship. And I do want to clarify that I don't think smut is bad, I just wonder why there's not more focus on platonic relationships.
