For a lot of people they are.

I also don't buy that we need to desexualise these adult characters because they are also aimed at kids, most kid/teenage shows also deals with love interest.

While I agree that the shipping drama can make some fandom toxic I do not think that the solution is cancelling relationships in YA fiction, at some point everyone needs to learn to accept that sometimes their prefered pairings will not happen.
