Nothing really. That's your personal view, that's why we call it shipping. There is a difference between love interest and couple which are the ones we can label as good or bad.

For example, the three main ships of this series (White Rose, Bumblebee and Arkos) are by far some of the worst ships I've ever seen in my life. Mainly because the girls are shipped for no particular canon reason apart from a fanon view which I personally consider too forced. In my case, the ship teases of Team RWBY are instead heartwarming moments of friendship and partnership. But leave it to shippers to take every single word shared between the characters as ship tease. Meanwhile Arkos is basically oblivious Jaune and poor Pyrrha, not only this description is completely wrong but also ignores several aspects of the characters thus resulting in a misunderstood ship. I've only met two people who actually see the ship in the correct way. Plus the reason why Pyrrha likes Jaune is really stupid, like if it was taken from a eroge so it's also a forced love interest.

And yet, those are the three main ships and some of the most followed ships I've ever seen. You know the answer to your own question so I guess what you're really asking is: Why shipping that one instead?
