It could be love isn’t here for any reason or advantage, it’s just a thing that happened that is not enough of a disadvantage to be bred out yet. Because that’s how evolution works: a large number of things pop up, and some of them that don’t work get bred out, and some that aren’t a bother but aren’t an advantage either stick around, and some that are an advantage last longer. Love might be a thing that just happened that isn’t enough of a bother yet.
For love to have out-replicated nonlove as hard as it did (it’s at fixation) for as long as it has (it’s present in many other species), it needed to either piggyback on some other useful thing or be useful itself.

Things don’t just happen in evolution.
