and the showrunners wanted to cater to them.

That seems to imply that they only did Olicity to please the fans, and wouldn't have done it otherwise. And I don't agree with that. I think they did Olicity because their original love story (Lauriver) failed and they needed a replacement. Olicity does give them buzz, it's true, and I'm sure the CW loves that. But it would never have happened if Lauriver hadn't failed so badly.

I dont think this is an either/or situation; like I said before, pandering isn't necessarily a negative thing. You basically said it your reply: they needed a love story for Oliver and Olicity became it. So they both filled their story requirement and made a vocal fangroup very happy.
