Why are first cousins barely classified as incest?

Cliff did say that it "hardly counted" when Betty revealed the truth to Polly, but to me, it's still incest. Although, not as bad as brother and sister having a sexual relationship.

Legally, I would assume third cousins aren't allowed to marry each other, indicating that most do view it as incest.
