It’s biologically ingrained into us to avoid incest. Revulsion for the act is built directly into our brains due to the severity of the act. I can’t even joke about incest without a pit forming in my belly and my shoulders slumping. Anon was the more neurotypical of the two.
Not even a little bit. That is only present cultural norms and is entirely arbitrary. Incest is historically common and even considered preferential and a right in the past.

The aversion often didn’t work for royalty, since they weren’t raised with their siblings.

You even had the extra doesn’t in there. Perfection.
