That was just a misreported survey https://static1.squarespace.com/static/633f0603fdaa7311ba384d21/t/65452c5506cddd4709554a1b/1699032154689/Teens+%26+Screens+2023+Report.pdf https://static1.squarespace.com/static/633f0603fdaa7311ba384... where headlines used the "sex" angle because it draws more clicks, but the survey includes "romance" in the same category as well. Of course you can recycle the argument and just say that Gen Z wants less gratuitous romantic relationships in their TV shows and movies; one theory being that if they want romance they know where to find it, so they consider it even more jarring than we do when it's shoehorned into content merely because there's a demographic who's into that kind of thing.
