I really think you're looking into it too seriously. iCarly is really exaggerated, IRL they probably would get a few hundred viewers per webshow and Spencer would not set an egg-gun on fire. Reason why they do it? Oh yeah, to make people laugh. So is Sam and Freddie's fighting, exaggerated to make people laugh. Also if they would start dating, they would still be Sam and Freddie, just a bit toned down with the fighting and a little more flirty, romantic interaction.
