Baby steps. I am sure that users will quickly point out this limitation. From the perspectives of both coding and social management, however, it makes sense to introduce this option first as a couples feature, and then expand it later. This way, glitches will be smaller and easier to fix.

Good reasons, but the other part of fail is that it reinforces the unicorn concept.

True, alas. But do you see a feasible alternative?
