Because that would mean Jaune would have to protect them and not the other way around. Either that or alone. (IMO Velvet seems a good option) I really don't like the idea of effectively creating a character just so Jaune can have someone. The thing about Ruby and Jaune is that it is probably one of the most cliché couplings you could imagine. Way too many franchises have the main girl and the main guy get together and they are often the first girl and boy, of the same rough age, to meet each other.

They don't need to be created explicitly with that in mind... other characters will continue to be necessary to show growth regardless... I find the alternative to your logic almost more offensive... everyone should just be with everyone else created simultaneously. Not only does that stagnate the plot, it makes the world less believable
