CAVEAT: This analysis is based upon my believe that iCarly was a way for DS to live out some childhood crush fantasy.

Because I believe that DS created Sam as the embodiment of all of those who could have helpd prevent him (Freddie) from hooking up with a childhood crush he was meant to be with (Carly), he has several clear reasons for that kind of handling:

1. The Seddie Arc derailed him from the orderly march towards his narcissistic wish-fulfilment. He only created the Arc to lecture viewers on what Seddie is not meant to be.

2. He obviously never quite got over his crush, so he made sure to set it up in as excruciatingly obvious a fashion by having every episode after the Arc to put distance between Sam and Freddie while bringing Carly closer to Freddie.

3. He was symbolically telling his long-ago adversaries, "see - you wish you could have me and wish you had been nicer to me so that you will be connected to my money and fame - well NYAH, NYAH, NYAH!"

Sure, he undermined the characters because of this and the quality of the series hence suffered. For him, that was not relevant - he had a vision and he was going to make it happen, come hell or high water.
