I can't think of any het pair I think I'd "ship" but as someone who ships a lot of gay pairs, I tend to avoid getting invested in shows where relationships play a huge part (like a teenage show with a lot of dating for example) or shows with established canon couples as protagonists.

So I guess the invisible line here makes perfect sense to me. Shipping a pair of unattached male friends who you know canon will never make a real couple within the show could be seen as a logical extension of canon-- ie, Bob and Joe may be friends now but only because they haven't realized their feelings for each other yet. There's nothing inherent in the canon that contradicts that per se. But if Bob and Joe are both married to women, that adds a layer of canon contradiction that my brain doesn't accept, unless at some point they both get divorced in canon. Infidelity is a major squick of mine, but apart from that, the fact that their relationship directly -contradicts- canon is much different from -building on- canon.

Huhn.

That makes sense, I can see it! But I don't think I'd ever be able to really draw that line myself for most media, at least if it was ongoing at all. Because 95% of everything american TV, even if it's supposed to be about murder mysteries or space aliens or whatever, ends up dabbling in relationship bullshit and sudden love interests at some point. I just sort of expect the looming specter of compulsory heterosexuality to come crashing into any genre at any time, lol. At which point I'm ready to fend it off with extreme prejudice.
