We don't talk about Pun-Pun
Kirk in a serious relationship of course being highly amusing to long-time fans.
As for Spock, he really was a sex symbol back during the ToS era, something a lot of modern fans might not know- the ladies found him very fascinating!
And it's not like we haven't seen alternate relationships with him explored in the past, like Spock/Nyota in the Kelvin timeline. Don't get me wrong, I was surprised at first as well, but Spock/La'An does have a logic to it.
I've noticed SNW has a recurring motif regarding how messed up Spock's love life is, likely to help explain why, in later years, he basically says "F it!" and becomes a monk lol. Heck, even in ToS, there's a few episodes (some examples being "Amok Time", "This Side of Paradise", and "All Our Yesterdays") devoted to this sort of thing.
