That's pretty much how I view it. Dick fell for Kori because he was a hormone addled teenager and she's this gorgeous "fish out of water" fantasy character. The beautiful alien who needs to kiss someone to learn their language and who enjoys walking around nude. We see where your head was there Marv.
I could never image Dick and Kori having thoughtful or deep conversations. When we wanted to find someone intelligent, witty, beautiful, etc. he fell for Babs. Dick is the type of guy who would find intelligence incredibly appealing in a partner.

Alleged DC leaks from 4Chan: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/thre...otta-be-wrong/
They are probably all fake (especially the first one, which already got debunked by Taylor) but it's fun to read at least.
DC: Dick Grayson, Wally West, Donna Troy, Yara Flor, Titans
Some of my favorite Mangas: One Piece, Slam Dunk, Fullmetal Alchemist, HunterXHunter, Vinland Saga, Monster, Berserk, Vagabond.
Current reading: Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Spy X Family, Kaiju Nº8, Blue Lock, Dandadan.
Isn’t post Burnside Babs an idiot to boot? I definitely remember people complaining about how dumb she’s been since that revamped her.

Kill Dick with a crowbar and have Starfire and Barbara hook up.
Pretty much the non DC & Marvel work sell better than the DC & Marvel stuff.
Which tends to happen with folks bought over from other parts of the writing world.
It's the piggyback concept. Use the name to get to a large audience and into places where you might get ignored.
These folks come with a built in audience. With many who would support the books.
So while she might be bad and not getting rave reviews-it's not hurting trade sales of her DC and Marvel books. While they are not top 100-they are among the top 500-1000 on Amazon. Something certain other books can't say.
These folks are bought in for their names. While it worked at times for Gene Yung and Nic Stone and N.K. Jemisin, it can back fire for others.

I enjoy Dick and Babs together but I feel like it's disingenuous to treat them as a perfect couple without their fair share of problems. Because they are, like any couple.
I wonder if this means crossover with the Catwoman book.
I've also heard it feels like it's written from the POV of a misandrist.
I think that's doing a disservice to their relationship and Kori's character. Dick and Kori went through a lot of emotional grief to be together but you could tell they were passionate about one another (especially Kori) and they were pretty vocal about it.
She was definitely a little more shallow and spastic compared to how she had been written before because they were trying to write her in like 18-19 age range.
To be honest I prefer the idea that Babs doesn't like Kori because she's kind of petty. I remember during BoP part of the tension with Huntress was because Huntress had been together with Dick.
