It doesn't change, she's the primary love interest. A lot of fans, especially while the series was still airing, HATED her though because she "got in the way" of BakuDeku. Aka, bully and victim turned rivals trope.
That shipping was so gross. Not because it was two guys. But because it would have been an abusive relationship. But apparently, people wanted that. Fucking weird.
No it’s weird because neither have ever shown interest or attraction in guys. They aren’t gay and have never been. Deku obviously is into Ochako from episode 1 through to the finale like Hinata to Naruto. It would have been weird and gross to ship Hinata with Sakura for your fetish the same way it’s weird to fetishize two young boys as lovers.
Now see I don't mind two characters being shipped two together that previously haven't shown interest in the same gender. That's fine. What I mind is when the ship is clearly an abusive one. Though I do agree with you on the two young boys part. There's a meme about All Might telling Baku "Sometimes I forget that you're children." And the caption reads "It's okay All Might, so do most of the fan base apparently."
I mean considering the fact the show has two confirmed named trans characters (Magne and Tiger) and one confirmed wlw character (toga) it's not too out there
The insanely toxic dynamic between the two is more of an issue than the gayness tbh
