You make it out like it's some objective assessment that she's not a leading lady or that her and Oliver don't work as a couple. You don't think so, but don't try and make that out to be the one truth. The actors have chemistry, and I don't think it's more than just between the actors. I think there's romantic chemistry. So many of the arguments against them come from people that think Oliver belongs with Black Canary because "it's in the comics." It wouldn't even matter if the actors had good romantic chemistry which is paramount to making a relationship work, even a fictional one.

I'm also tired of the argument that they pander to shippers. It was a logical place to go with the chemistry that the writers and producers saw. If you don't like that, fine, that doesn't make it pandering. Pandering is giving some group a couple or story they clamor for but the PTB don't really believe in. That's not the case her, the writers wrote what they thought was interesting. Oliver and Felicity were barely a couple this season, yet somehow that's enough to say it ruined the entire season?

"read or watch any review of this last season and you'll see the same exact argument" 1 - I'd rather make up my own mind, and 2 - This is one of the things that bothers me about how you and many argue, they'll make hyperbolic claims using hyperbole. There are other reviews that don't agree with your view, stop making it like you are speaking gospel.
