As in Rose had the Hots for the doctor and nobody cared about micky. Yeah, no.
A: Jack was first and foremost an interesting character. That was back then, when they still had the balls to give gay people a personality. Hence the spinoff.

You might not have cared but the intention was to write a love triangle to appeal to fags and women who want personal drama not science fiction. You can see the intended audience for Rose and it was not basement nerds. To them Micky was a very important part of the appeal of Rose. She's the bland average woman with a boyfriend who gets whisked off by a handsome mysterious stranger.
He wasn't interesting. He was a faggot and his entire personality was being a faggot.
