Because a lot of people don't use the word properly! Many of us grew up in families where love might mean:
1. A guilt trip: if you love me, you will.....
2. I love you so much, I can't help but sexually abuse you
3. I love you, but only if you act the way I tell you to
4. I love you (but then they act hateful)
5. I love you and want you to be with me forever, merged with me in an unhealthy way
Etc. etc. etc.
Definitely a loaded word, but I think it's more because the word is so misused.
