I think what they meant was that they don’t write these characters solely with the “ship” they are attached to. As they say in the first answer to the first question, the relationship they are in is just one part of the character they are trying to tell the story of.
Maybe back in season 1…
Sometimes (a lot of times) I think A and E need to stop talking. Just full stop.
And writing.
