Let's be real the creators were afraid of letting Zuko stay single because the fans would have even more wiggle room for zutara.
It would have been better to have all the the kids single. The romance just didn't flow well in the third book and over all made the season bloated.
I'm in complete agreement with you. Loved how you worded it, it's totally true. Also, they were in the middle of a war to start with, just let them deal with that first. Jesus.
