I think it was the opposite. Execs have realized by now that ~~bromance~~ sells and they're playing it up in every other blockbuster, but here's the thing: at the end of the day, they're still straight characters.
Yes, there wouldn't have been much change in how the relationship was shown if they were actually gay, but THEY AREN'T. Movie and TV studios are unwilling to ACTUALLY show gay people, so they keep showing these homoerotic ~~friendships~~ because they know it sells and gets people interested, but in the long run they aren't doing anything for real life gay people, because there's still no mainstream cinema showing real, actual gays. At the end of the movie, they still get with the girl.
To quote tumblr user reelaroundthefountain (http://reelaroundthefountain.tumblr.com/post/15261640352/the-only-difference-between-pre-1950-male-centric): The only difference between pre-1950 male-centric narratives and modern male-centric narratives is that modern ones give a patronizing nod to the popularity of homoeroticism in their efforts to exclude all non heterosexual-white-males.
