Superboy/Wonder Girl would make little sense. The crew took this road, they've got to follow it. Relationships are part of the bigger story. You can't just do anything, it's got to fit. Advancing the story is more important than pleasing shippers.

Miss Martian and Superboy were both new to the outside world, which put them in a similar situation. Megan had raging Martian hormones, and Superboy was the Conner to her Megan Wheeler. Plus, they were both good looking and they lived together. They gravitated towards eachother.

But as she matured, they grew apart. Lagoon Boy presented himself. Young, impressionable, and eager to learn about the surface world as she had once been. Plus, he was sweet. Perfect rebound guy.

Superboy has issues with her abuse of powers, but still cares for her. Enough to take her back when she will be ready for it.

Even though Superboy's genes make him age differently, he still matures on the inside. Wonder Girl is 14. He's mentally mature, that's just eeww. Wonder Girl is, apart from age, also the odd one out in that she's not a fish out of water. She's been in the outside world for all her life. She has nothing in common with Superboy. That they're the tanks of the Team means nothing.

Instead, they chose to gravitate her to Tim. They've got things in common. They had to make Cassie younger as the wanted to make her the second sidekick to Diana, with Troia during the time skip. So she had to be early in her career. Because there's also Jason, Tim likewise is at the start of his career. They're the benjamins of the Team (prior to Jaime joining, who, despite being less experienced, was older). They both have big boots to fill of both iconic mentors and past sidekicks.

In short: story trumps shippers.
