Well, here's one thing I don't get.

One of the most cited reasons I've seen for people supporting Pyrrha is that she isn't the main character, right? Time to pull some mind fucks here.

First, she technically is one of the main characters. Team JNPR has been stated to be the Dueteragonists of the show. For those of you who don't know, or are unaware of what tvtropes.org is, a dueteragonist is essentially a secondary main character. The protagonists of the show obviously are team RWBY, while the show itself seems to be shown from Ruby's PoV (Point of View) most of the time. If we're going with a Main Hero/Heroine argument, then theoretically, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Nora, and Pyrrha can all be said to be the Heroines, while Jaune and Ren are the Heroes. Now, by this logic, Jaune ending up with Pyrrha would still end in that one trope all of you hate. Logic bitches!! :D (No, this is not me using "bitches" in the derogatory sense, so if you're offended, I did not mean it (This time))

Secondly, there is a good reason this trope is always in effect guys. Think about it. Why would the authors/creators place a main character with another main character? Is it because we like it more? According to you guys, you're absolutely sick of it. Is it because it seems nicer? Hell, even I admit sometimes I've rooted for the other girl. No, it makes sense because of two simple facts.

First, they both tend to have prolonged exposure to each other and therefore would make a better couple (generally subverted with the childhood friends scenario though), and two, are often both shown to have the most screen time. Now, even if they are the deutaragonists, Team JNPR will inevitably have much less screen time than the titular Team RWBY and (so it seems) Jaune. Now, if Jaune were to get together with Pyrrha, we'd see less of their interactions than we would if he ended up with Ruby. Now, in order to cater to a wide audience, adding in a bit of romantic stuff is a common ploy. But although we don't want the romance to overshadow the action, comedy, and the school life focus, we still want there to be enough of it to satiate us. Now if Pyrrha, who would definitely have much less screen time than Ruby were to get together with Jaune, we'd see a lot less of the interactions that you're all clamouring for.

In short, with these two arguments, I can argue that if any romantic interactions will be added to the show (as Monty teased us about), Jaune would likely have only a short fling with anyone sans Ruby because, while most of you argue that the Hero getting the Heroine again is "dull", "boring", or "cliche", you forget that you are arguing against your own shipping there, and that this trope is here and will likely last due to how logical it is in the long run.

Tl;dr This is just me explaining my view as to why your argument involving Pyrrha being the better choice is not a good argument at all. Accept it, rage against it, or expand upon it. Do what you will.

RubyXJaune for the win.
