First of all, there was no way there was ever going to be anything between Kyo and Yuki because they were the two male parts of the love triangle with the heroine and it was obvious that one of them was going to end up with her at the end

This is the sort of "obvious" where it's only obvious as a result of the traditional normative status of heterosexuality. Of course, the reality is that - the world being what it is, or what it was at the time - that was going to be the outcome. But it's also not really a defense against the accusation of queerbaiting to say that the series was probably going to be straight because of heteronormativity.

and, y'know, the part where it's a shojo manga where love triangles/multiple guys vying for the lead girl is a staple of the genre...

You know, around the time Furuba was popular shoujo was pretty much all I read, and still Furuba is the only series I remember where het reigned supreme to this extent in the ending. In other series, supporting characters were, shock, allowed to remain single (yes, even in romance stories), and some actually were canonically queer.
