I think you're wrong. There are different types of slash pairings, but one thing's for sure --

There are a TON of BFF slash juggernauts, starting with the seminal Star Trek:

- KIRK/SPOCK
- Jack/Daniel
- Sheppard/McKay
- Holmes/Watson (BBC)
- STEVE/BUCKY

And that's really just off the top of my head.

I give you Kirk/Spock (haven't seen TOS so can't comment) and Jack/Daniel, but Sheppard/McKay, Holmes/Watson (BBC) don't really fit with what I mean with a simple BFF ship.

Sheppard/McKay became friends eventually, but they argue all the time and in the beginning they didn't exactly like each other. I can't even explain what's going on with BBC Holmes and Watson but it's not a normal, supportive friendship either. And I think I actually mentioned Steve/Bucky in my post; back in CA:TFA when Steve/Bucky was a ship between two best friends who were always there and supportive of each other it wasn't a big ship. The ship became huge with WS when Bucky was suddenly all tragic and it became an angsty struggle against Bucky's brainwashing. Before TWS Steve/Bucky actually used to be one of my go-to examples of a BFF ship doing poorly.

The point I was trying to make is that slash fandom at large doesn't like ships with BFFs who are "just" BFFs, especially if the BFF is more of a sidekick-type character to the main character BFF. I might not be explaining myself well; to me, there's a difference between the most of the pairings you listed and the ones I did (and am thinking of in this discussion).
