I agree that meaningful relationships are a sign that a character is well-written (whether they're antagonistic, familial, friendly or romantic), but the OP specifying only one type of relationship is the part that strikes me as strange.

If a character isn't interested in romance, but has strong & realistic relationships with their friends, they can definitely be well-written. I'd also argue that, if a character hates social interaction and avoids people as much as they can, I don't see why they should be counted out from having depth! As long as their characterization maintains an internal consistency (and like you said, they aren't altered to suit the plot's demands), that's far more important than being able to ship them with people.

Ehhh. Fandom in general is preoccupied with shipping, and many of the biggest ships are, in canon, between characters who just have a strong, realistic friendship and express no canonical interest in becoming more than friends.
