I wouldn’t consider this too far fetched, considering how fandoms work and how the creators/directors/writers whatever you wanna call them; is almost always influenced by the fandom and the ships, because let’s compromise good writing, ideas and other shit because fujos are fucking wet and want two male characters to be gay for one another because god forbid any normal friendship in modern day writing, Shows like Star Vs the Forces of Evil, Voltron etc. were all fueled by the shipping shit, and look where they all ended up. In the case of your example, it prevents two characters from having a moment or an interaction because the moment shippers get just a sniff of blood, there will be a feeding frenzy,Schizo theory time: the reason why is because Viv was scared that having Vero and Stolas alone in a duet would be used as shipping fuel by the fanbase and we know thanks to Hazbin Hotel that she will go to great lengths to kill any ship that she doesn't personally like (ex. Alastor x Charlie).
I’ve said it time and time again, Shipping is the literal cancer of any fandom, and the creators and writers shouldn’t listen to rabid shippers at all. It sacrifices so much creative freedom when you try to shoehorn in shit that appeases .1% of a fandom, in the process alienating those interested in the original premise and driving away actual fans. The only ones who the writers should be listening to is the actual fans.
