Perhaps from the public, but specifically in this case by the cast and crew. The writers didn’t think it was plausible, the actors didn’t think it was in character; really, the only two people who were in favor of the romantic arc were Marta Kauffman and David Crane.
Although everyone opposed them on it, whenever challenged they would respond thusly: “[This is] exactly why we’re doing it. Sometimes friends fall in love even though it’s wrong.” Turns out their writers instincts were right, and the scene where Joey tells Rachel he loves her is one of the most emotionally touching in the Friends canon.
