People involved in this show aren't fans. They might love the show, but that's different to the way we completely wrap ourselves in it.
Exactly! They're busy making a show week to week and month to month. I highly doubt that they're even thinking of half of the things that fans are about the episodes. They're seeing it from a whole different vantage point. When they watch an episode, they're remembering how the weather was bad that day out on location, how they had this sort of problem, or this scene was captured and acted amazingly. They're not thinking about ships at all.
As a person who's worked on films, I can tell you it's tough to turn off your production mindset. Once you've seen a scene from beginning to end, in all the many stages of production...you're almost sick of it. You know it by heart and can no longer see it with fresh eyes.
The people who make SPN have their own game plan for the show. They know where it's going, we fans do not. We can guess and speculate and dream all we want - doesn't mean it's going to happen. Now as a fan who isn't a Destiel shipper I can see I've never seen it as a possibility. To me, when the show hints at it at all, it's more a playful "hey, we know you guys like this sort of thing so we'll toss you a little line now and then" thing from the show. Heck, even Misha plays around with it at conventions. Again, this doesn't mean it's going to happen. People need to stop mixing reality with fantasy.
Do you read a fanfic and decide you want 2 characters to do something that wasn't in the story? Do you then badger and threaten the author that they should change their story to fit your ideas? No, of course not. Yet this is what a certain faction of fandom is doing to the writers/producers/directors of SPN. It's the same thing, just a different platform. Either way it's wrong.
Fandom creations are where we should exercise our ideas and fantasies. Write fic, make fanart, ship whoever you want. Where it crosses the line is imposing your ideas onto the creators of the show. You want to see a different show? Hire your own production team and some actors and make your own TV show.

Me? I'm perfectly happy with what we've got. :)
