From what I recall about the timing of Korra, it was huge in having a Same-Sex Main Characters Get Together Implication in a kid's show, from Wholesome Nickelodeon. So that part of it, where they actually Went There, was... timing, and audience. (And having blazed what amount of trail it did, it's now not nearly so progressive.)
Stars, whole long... LJ? DW? post about how it was, indeed, not queer-baiting, but it was canon Korrasami, because of all the parallels in the wedding during the same episode -- and how this was Hit You Over The Head without quite coming out and making parents scream about What Are You Doing On Network TV OMG.
Which is to say: yeah, it's been surpassed in sapphic content. What a difference six years makes!
