Because many readers likes the fantasy of their old potential lover to come back to their lives and start chasing them back. And they love the sensation of being in power and being wanted over them.

Unlike the usual rejection. Reader also likes the sensation of having friendzone partner.

It's how fantasy works anyway. They offer you a story that simply extremely hard and near impossible to manifest in reality, like flying with magic.

Treating being wanted by an old potential lover as next to impossible as flying with magic is both wild and fucking sad. Are you okay buddy? Need to get something out of your chest?

Well they're both rather exaggerated form of comparison. It's bad wording.

It's should've been "people really wants being wanted back by old potential lover just as some others want to be able to fly with magic".

Its not how impossible both dream are, it's about how common those wishes and fantasy are.

Like revenge fantasies or something. Many wants them and likes to read them.

I'd like to see one where the MC was friend zoned and the childhood friend sees them as a brother.
They don't like seeing the MC getting any because it feels creepy to imagine their psudo-brother getting laid.
The male MC keeps guys away from the girl, like a protective big brother, but everyone thinks it is due to romantic feelings he had for her.
They don't realize they feel like this, and thus can't express it clearly, so everyone thinks they are just in denial.

Then again, this style of stories was created by the Japanese, and they seem to have no real taboo about family getting it on in stories (at least the ones I've seen. I don't know about real life)

Most likely they don't want to ruin their friendship, after all it's more safer than being rejected.
