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(your logic taken to its extreme) 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 I think it would be fine if they weren't created for that purpose. However, any new character that suddenly takes an interest in Jaune will likely end up looking like a character that was co-opted or created for the purpose of being with Jaune.

Yeah. Exactly this. It'd seem extremely obvious (and forced) to the audience. And people would haaaate Jaune's new love interest because of Pyrrha. When you spend 3 seasons building Arkos up, people are naturally gonna be salty if Jaune gets a new love interest, whether or not they exist for another reason in the story.

I dunno, if some girl only liked Jaune 'cause of how badass he was, that'd literally be the complete opposite of Pyrrha and people would be even more annoyed by it. If she were literally a "groupie", it'd also seem even more superficial than Neptune-Weiss and honestly, I can't see Jaune reciprocating a relationship like that.
