I think it was because they were sequential, though I never really looked into why exactly people were shipping them so early on. I just remember joining the fandom and looking into RWBY on the day the Yellow Trailer went up on Youtube and waiting for Volume 1 with everyone else, and suddenly, I noticed there were lots of people already shipping Ruby/Weiss and Blake/Yang. There were also people already assigning them personalities, which was a mistake, as they didn't turn out quite like the fans imagined, especially Weiss.
