The whole interview was taken out of context, but the implications are more telling than anything she actually said. I don't think the idea of Hermione/Ron having to get couples therapy is extreme - reread the epilogue: Ron was still acting immature, and Hermione was still berating him for it. There was absolutely NO character development, that I could see. He was still annoying, and she was still treating him like she was his mother.

The "extreme" was pairing those two in the first place. Ridiculous, "convenient", cliche endgame pairings.
