Some reminders on how Jensen has persistently rolled for the past 6 years or so. He doesn't tell fans how to interpret the text or how to feel. He gives his perspective. While he is also friendly/positive toward fan lenses on destiel.
“This is the great thing about the show and I think the relationships and some of these characters is that they’re open for interpretation. If you find identity in a character because of whatever reason, fantastic! Great! If that encourages you to be a better person, or to love someone a little harder, to forgive someone for something, fantastic. That’s—that’s I think that’s one of the beautiful things about what we do is that we get to encourage people on a variety of levels.” -Jensen Ackles, DenCon October 2021

From an online M&G. The most pertinent quotes: "Artists don't stand in a gallery next to their painting and tell you exactly what you should be seeing" and "I would never want to tell someone what they should and shouldn't see"
From the same M&G: "We didn't want to over-define it because it does mean--it does mean something different to other people and it's like, we tried to equate it to a piece of art. It's like the artist isn't going to stand next to that piece of art and tell you what to see. You should be able to see, and it should be able to mean what it means to you and that's--that's the beautiful thing about art."
