They ship thier characters because 1) it's all in fun, and 2) the fanfiction domination. Them shipping it personally as fans doesn't mean anything in canon, and it won't influence the story. They may tease it, but ultimately the writers will make canon what is best for the story.

Fun fact, Arryn actually shipped Blake with Pyrrha at first. Obviously, there being nothing out there for that, she found another ship for the fun of it.
