The problem is that the focus is on their relationship and sexuality most of the time while every other aspect about them is disposable or simply not equally important, which is something that doesn't matter with supposedly heterosexual characters.
When I read comics with them, I feel like instead of reading a story I'm only reading this sentence over and over again: "Look, they are gay. We made a gay couple here."
I'm not trying to be harsh, I appreciate that Marvel is trying. I simply am not that interested in them, because this is the feeling I get about them.
Another good example is Batwoman. A lot of fans complained that suddenly everything was about her sexuality and that the story suffered from that.
I can't speak for them, because I didn't read Batwoman, but from what I read I get what they're saying and can only agree.
