I think he cares enough to not want it to ever be explicit. Sure, if fans want to interpret this or that, fine, but an actual on-screen thing? Nope. He had his chance in Chosen and kept it in the dark, literally. He had his chance at the end of S8 and we got that studly bullshit. I really think the AR soured him to the idea of them ever being an actual couple. Innuendo, fantasies, all well and good, but as he's said more than once, they won't be Luke and Laura. It'll be like you said. Spike'll move on or they'll always be a plot device (death, whatver) to intervene.
