I actually kind of like that the word covers a lot of situations. I’d support different words for different loves but my feelings about my romantic partner, my friends, and riding a bike are kinda related to each other in some way.
The word love would not disappear. Its meaning would just shift to something that feels off when you mean a specific type of love. What you whisper in the ear of your lover in bed, will be different from what you tell your kid when they go off to school. But when talking about the amount of love you have to give, the old word “love” will still be used, since that is usually about any kind of love.
