I dont know. It still feels too weird and complicated for them to do. Especially back then when same sex couples were still an issue. In Western society it's just frowned upon to have relationships with relatives. If CN didn't intervene, someone else might've. Also Ben and Gwen didn't have to actually get intimate in order to be close. If they had Ben and Gwen paired together, there would be a whole arc about them keeping their love secret and struggling for acceptance from society. They probably wanted to avoid the hassle.

I don't think that reason alone is why they made Kevin a hero. Firstly, they already paired Ben with Julie, and secondly it didn't have to be Kevin who ends up with Gwen.

Gwen and Kevin isn't anywhere near the best ship, but after Omniverse, it's far from the worst one. While it was rushed, at the very least it wasn't shallow like a lot of Ben 10 ships. I'll admit it did feel weird for the former criminal and the female protagonist to end up together.

As I already mentioned above. If they let it happen, the fandom would be set on fire and quite possibly the show would be banned in many regions. Have you heard of a Canadian show called 6teen? They had one episode suggesting two of the male main characters were in a gay relationship and the episode got banned in US. Imagine what would happen if it was for a whole show.

And you know there are ethical reasons why society is against relatives from getting together. The family could carry a recessive disease, and if two carriers were parents, all their children would show the condition.

Only chance it happens if Ben and Gwen are no longer cousins.
