Indeed. As Lorre said, each character brings out a different element of the other characters. They enjoy the freedom and challenge of this.
The Sheldon and Penny relationship has been around for eight years, and embodies the premise of the show in a way no other TBBT relationship does. The meeting of very different worlds, the learning from one another.
Leonard is essentially normalised now, so he no longer represents the world of intellect (he only vaguely did to begin with anyway). Sheldon was always the figure to embody the Apollonian to Penny's Dionysian, reason to intuition, order to chaos. Sheldon's almost normalised himself now, unfortunately, but Penny is still the only person who is his equal opposite, whom he learns from, and who represents (to him) that unfathomable aspect of the hedonistic, irrational "human" world.
Regarding "the Shenny"...for a "ridiculous/delusional/non-existent" (etc) relationship, it certainly gets talked about a lot. I think the canons talk about it more than Shenny fans do...
It's just a theoretical concept. Why all the fear and hysteria? And violence, rudeness etc...
That's rhetorical, don't answer that.
