I feel like a lot of it comes from the oft-repeated "show, don't tell" advice that is hammered into most writers' brains. Emphasizing how the kiss makes the characters feel through description rather than just directly saying "the kiss was good, and it made [character A] realize he was truly in love with [character B]. It's more a way to "show, not tell" passion than anything.

Still, I do think lot of writers over-compensate, over-complicating their descriptions to the point of unbelievability to emphasize character feelings when something more understated or simple could be more effective at communicating the same thing.
