Most things fandom cares about literally don't matter - even the non-shippy stuff. Asking why people care about shipping them is like asking why people care about the inner lives of minor Harry Potter characters or the names of every alien species in Star Wars.

I think the bond between Aziraphale and Crowley is the main reason why people are drawn to shipping them in the first place (not the only reason, but the main one). Shipping is a way of exploring that bond, albeit along romantic lines (whether there is sex or not).

As for "secretly boning," this is not really a point of contention in the fandom as far as I can tell (whether they *would ever* bone, yes, that is debateable). There are certainly fics that present them as having started a sexual relationship in the past, but many more that run with the idea that they couldn't even admit how much they cared for one another, let alone show an interest in having sex with each other, until after the end of the show (or, at least, the time between the bus ride and the next morning). "Do I ship them?" is really not equivalent to "Are they boning?" in this fandom.
