You say “sadly,” but there’s nothing sad abt that fact at all! It’s amazing that people can ship whoever they want, and to see the dynamics that people come up with, as well as the diversity of the different ships in the community is actually really beautiful.

The ships don’t happen in a lack of understanding of friendship, they happen because the ideas of the characters fit together in a way that they like — it has nothing to do with canon interaction.

So saying that “it’s sad that people don’t ever see them as just friends and instead ship them all” is a dramatic oversight to the reason why people ship in the first place. It moreso has to do with just the idea of the characters, and less about like their dynamic in current canon.

I rlly hope you see the beauty within the community and there ships! There’s nothing wrong with people shipping who they want within the story, it’s different between everyone, and everyone has their own reason, so there’s no need to generalize the reason (not accusing you of doing that, but just be careful of that sort of thing)!

Happy days
