I think you're seriously reading this into the secret when it isn't there.

"What I hate is that this movie....seems to feel the need to include a romance in their action film, but they don't bother taking the time to write a decent one."

"the need to include a romance" and "not a decent one" are JOINTLY the problem. It could be fixed EITHER by better emotional development of the romance as a parallel or support to the adventure (which some movies can pull off! which some star wars movies have pulled off! YMMV by taste obviously).

"IF they're going to do it, at least do a good job, dammit..."

Nowhere in the secret does it say anything about the quality of the storyline otherwise. Because the secret's not about that! And TBH given the high pressure for four-factor appeal in blockbusters, they probably wouldn't be allowed to drop the romance element entirely. But I don't see anything in the secret that 1) denigrates the storyline in general or 2) would object to less kiss as the solution. It just sounds like they're resigned to kiss probably existing. And in that case it's perfectly reasonable to wish it were done better.
