I'm not assuming anything. The way the tag is being used is just flat-out wrong.
Well it's used wrong according to your definition of the tag. In the west the tag is used for content that heavily features or focuses on fanservice and similar titillating material. It's "safe for work" only in the sense that it never crosses the line and doesn't contain any actual nudity. And whatever romance is serious or not, really has no connection to it. Sure it's harder to tell a story that everyone will take seriously when you have those, often forced, sexy elements, but by default, those two are not mutually exclusive. So yes, most of the time, you still wouldn't want other people seeing you watching/reading something "ecchi" even if it's not technically NSFW, unless you're the kind of person who doesn't care about what people think of you at all. Also it's really funny you consider that definition "flat-out wrong" and even correctly explain origins of the name, while seeming to be unaware, that in Japan, ecchi is used to mark NSFW pornographic content. Basically our meaning for hentai anime/manga is part of theirs for ecchi.
