Well I think that most Grey's Anatomy watchers would like the idea of Mer and Alex as a couple, but their strong platonic friendship is what makes their relationship so special. Viewers are actually clouded by the closeness and intimacy that they share together, and are distracted from the fact that Alex and Jo are actually supposed to be more "focused" on. It kind of irritates me actually, they're perfect for eachother but no one can see the significance of their relationship because they're all focused on why Alex and Mer are so close. And the whole couple thing eliminates the purpose of being one's "person", which is supposed to provide one with a shoulder to cry on, and I think it would just overall send out the wrong message.
