To say they shied away "to maintain the straight viewers" is a massive, massive misreading of the situation.

EXACTLY. I can agree it's arguably not good LGBTQ representation and I get being disappointed if fans oversold the extent of any representation, but they don't kiss or do anything relationship-wise in the book that they didn't do in the show so there wasn't really anything to shy away from there. The relationship is left open-ended. The show didn't break any promises made by the original text, the authors, the show-runners and actors, or the advertising.

This is exactly why I'm not fussed about the ambiguity, either: we were never promised anything more than was delivered. If anything, the show makes a stronger case for Aziraphale/Crowley than the book did.
