This is considered taboo and exploitative because the newly sober person will be vulnerable. This newcomer will rely on the other members of AA to help them find their feet in sobriety. They will not be strong enough for a relationship, and their ability to make good choices can be compromised. Unfortunately there are people who will try to take advantage of such vulnerability to satisfy their own sexual desires. Occasionally, members of AA do form successful romantic relationships, but this is when they are both secure in their sobriety.
Romantic Love Addicts are "romantic junkies" and relationship "hoppers"... they compulsively hop from one infatuated relationship to another in an attempt to keep their supply (dependency/addiction) going. Initially, they often believe they're in love with a person they start a relationship with, but they don't truly fall in love. Romantic Love Addicts are addicted to the fantasy created in their minds- and have false hopes (unrealistic expectation) that one day they will find the right one who somehow will keep the "rush", passion, and intensity going all the time; which is an impossible task for anyone.
