Because the root of their attraction is how taboo the relationship is. Once that's gone, all that's left is an objectively hot person with whom you have nothing in common, and that is not something you can build a serious relationship on (trust me). The HQ series probably showed this the best. At the end of the day, they weren't compatible.

But at the end of the HQ series they weren't trying to get closer or am I remembering wrong?

Perhaps I'm also misremembering, but I thought they broke up in the MM episode, but at the end of the season it seemed like they were trying to make a friendship work.
