Where is this "ew het" coming from? There's quite a lot of Clint/Natasha het in the fandom. Just because your ship isn't popular doesn't mean the fandom hates het. (Is probably missing the whole point. *sigh*)

You may be right that it would be more popular if Natasha was a guy, but I think that's because slash fandom is more prone to making up pairings out of thin air and running with them than het fandom is, generally speaking (at least in my experience). There's always going to be a few that ship the rare pairs, but in most cases (again in my experience anyway) het fandom tends to gravitate more toward pairings that have at least a shred of canon or canonical teasing behind them. Slash fandom, having not had the luxury in most cases of canon backing, tends to be more apt to run wild. At least that's my theory. :) But my point is - it's not "ew het", it's just different dynamics.

That's not true in my experience (het fic making up pairings.) Just look at the Darcy Lewis fandom. She's been paired with everyone from Loki to Nick Fury to JARVIS for fuck's sake.

Darcy is a spunky flirt and an audience stand-in, though. It's easy to imagine her having bantery chemistry with anyone and she doesn't have comcis backstory to reign her in.

Darcy's pretty much an audience stand-in though, I think part of her appeal comes from the fact that she's basically a canon fangirl self-insert.
