If I'm being optimistic I believe they are trying to give us more interactions between Ruby and Weiss so when it happens people can't go around saying that they are forcing the ship like they are doing with Bumblebee.
I've dropped RWBY for a while now, but I checked out a few places once I heard Bumblebee got some love thrown their way, and oh boy was the backlash intense as fuck. And the thing is I can't even fault most of them for being annoyed. If the writers' writing capabilities are anything like the time I dropped them, I knew instinctively that they probably just dove head first into making them endup together without even properly building them up from previous seasons because they were so busy with their myth arc and making Jaune super important because he's their poster boy (ironic for a show called RWBY).
I've always loved WR but I couldn't stand seeing them being written so poorly (and would probably end up in het ships because reasons) so the show is as good as dead to me.
Is not actually forced into the viewers suddenly, their final scene can even be taken as super nakama moment and not lovers. They just had them being apart from each other with a very complicated relationship of guilt and stuff until they finally get together and open themselves to each other so it's very endearing to see them fix their broken team... Because from s3 ending to s6 it was R W Y B and not RWBY but I understand why you dropped this, s4 was imo very boring, s5 they had Ruby stay in a house....for like 8 episodes!! and then finally s6 was good.
I guess the backlash comes from Monty Oun (deceased creator of RWBY) saying that he's didn't had plans for romance and RT is just "ruining the legacy" or some people think they're making them lover just for pandering.
PS: IF you want good writing, I recommend reading the new adaptation of RWBY in manga by Bunta Kinami, and do not confuse it because previously Shirow Miwa made a manga of rwby too but it ended with only 12 chapters with a made up ending.
Bunta adaptation is so great that it makes you feel like you're watching a more serious or focused take on the series, it gives you the "This is how it should've been" feeling.
