Makes sense.

Before the long term conflict over trans stuff, most of the acrimony aimed at JK Rowling was from Ron/Hermione shippers who were outraged that she gave some interviews well after the books were over where she said that she thought they wouldn't have worked out, long-term.

Here's the fulltext of one of those interviews. https://www.mugglenet.com/jkrint-wonderland-020714.shtml If you control + F the word "wish," it'll take you straight to the bit where she says she wrote Ron/Hermione for largely personal reasons. But if you're interested in Hermione's characterization in general, there's a lot more on that in there. And on what she thinks of Ron, for that matter.

I didn't like any of the main leads in that book well enough to care about what they did with their love lives, but I was significantly alienated from the Harry Potter fandom by the degree of meanness people used in arguing that their preferred thing should win. And then more so, because of how people who shipped what did become canon attacked the author for daring to say later that she didn't continue to support it. All of the "the author should shut up and let us enjoy the text without her!!" that only got uglier when she pissed more people off, later, was already flying around from over a decade ago, and most of it seemed directly inspired by not liking that, if she contradicted their preferred interpretation of something entirely fictional, people gave that a certain weight. Because she made up the story.
