To be fair, the DLC that added the absurd +50 approval gifts was an optional download released on April 1st. The gifts system as shipped by the vanilla game was not too bad, and was not enough to make a companion swoon over you single-handedly. At least I don’t think so. That being said, I can’t pretend DA:O is the height of dating sims or anything, either.
I’ll admit my fondness was more about her character being interesting and I don’t remember much of the mechanical aspects of the way the game handled relationships.

I think that you can just give them gifts until they’re horny for you is like the quintessential example of poorly done video game romance.

Wait isn’t that basically how it works in Stardew Valley too?
I never got far in stardew, so maybe?
