You've hit the matter bang on the head. Those lucky enough to have such a friendship are certainly (or hopefully) aware of their own luck, but our culture doesn't really take notice of that aspect of 'love' anymore. It's a shame, because those relationships are the most interesting to read and write about. Relationships which defy reduction to the physical. We see them in literature but on the screen they tend to inevitably turn romantic.
I'm pretty sure I'm not high-profile enough to attract the ire of any mad slashers in my little corner of the Sherlock fandom. :-)
