The Mangekyou is one of the best ideas of Kishimoto, it's a brilliant piece of design. It's an eye that symbolizes mental health (or rather, lack thereof), fuelled by the owner's own darkness. It's powers are ironic, it's symbolism of "losing a lot but gaining something in return"( (Madara to Sasuke) really strong. If happiness could awaken it, it would cheapen all of this. And i simply don't think the happiness part in any way compensates for the extremely strong dark part.
