It's to keep all the LIs together plot wise. But yes, he could have asked someone else (I was even thinking Madeleine who would do just about anything for her country). And Liam wants to marry for love which is why he remains single if he is not MC's husband. The writers said they are not setting up the LIs that didn't end up with MC with anyone else.

I really think they should have set the story several years in the future, with Liam married (if not to MC) and either they've been struggling to conceive or he's a widower and asks MC to surrogate so the child is biologically his and MC/LI could be godparents.
