If Leslie and Sheldon had hooked up, that means she would have hooked up with three out of the four guys, and I imagine some people would find that rather strange and off-putting. (both the audience, and within the universe of the show itself.)
It wouldn't bother me; what I find squicky and off-putting is the current canon pairings, and I'd prefer pretty much any pairings you could name. But if all three encounters ended badly, that wouldn't reflect well on Leslie *or* the guys. But perhaps she wouldn't be able to dazzle Sheldon like she did with Leonard and Howard...
She's not supposed to be a lovable character, clearly. I'd say she's a good example of a "frenemy." She doesn't give a crap what other people think of her; that much is clear, and it's very refreshing, but she's kind of enigmatic because she's neither wholly likeable nor wholly unlikeable.
I would've infinitely preferred to see more of her and Ramona instead of A and B, even though she was kind of shitty towards Howard.
