Because the goal for a creator is to get people to watch the show. You want to have the fans care about the you create. And when you get people to care about the characters, that means you want them to be happy and to have their hopes and dreams come true.

Some people love the Creddie type ship. Boy has a long time infatuation and love for his next door neighbor best friend. They wan't to see Freddie end up happy if it ends up at the end of the series that he still loves her and she accepts and they date.

Some people like the girl, who is also friend with said boy, who picks on him because all he does is go on and on about her best friend and it hurts her because she has said feelings for the guy who thinks he is in love with her best friend. If this girl is in love with the said guy people root for her to end up with him.

It's really simple. Shipping couples will happen forever, in every show. Shows with no continuity (Simpsons, Family Guy) not as much. Because each episode is completely different and they never age.

But a goal for most creators is to make it so you care what happens to the characters. While there might be heated debate once in a while...for the most part everybody wants each character to have a happy ending as long as it doesn't interfere with there ship.

Yes there are a few out there shippers who don't care if Sam get's left out in eye cold, they think she's lucky to have Carly and Freddie as friends, and if they got together, they don't care if it upsets or ruins the trio because Sam's lucky Carly and Freddie even put up with her.

But i would say 95% of these shippers just want the characters to end the series happily. People just differ on how they want it to end.
