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.
As for WhiteRose, there are suggestions that, since the team will be spending the next Volume, at least, in Atlas, that Weiss will be dealing with her demons much the same way that Blake and Yang have been dealing with theirs over the past couple of seasons and that she will need the support of her closest friend more than ever, who IS Ruby, regardless of her tsundere ways. This suggests that there could be development in their relationship on the horizon.
One thing I'll like to point out is that if Kerry and Miles had wanted Weiss to end up with Jaune or Neptune they would have hinted that during the battle of Heaven when Weiss almost died, while it was Jaune who saved her, there wasn't any moment between them, not even during Vol 6, and Neptune stopped being relevant to Weiss character since Vol3, on the other hand, after her near-death experience Weiss has been closer to Ruby, from how they act in the opening, to the 'thank me later' and other scenes, now that I think about it they are almost always together in vol 6
Maybe I'm just delusional, but one can always dream
