Is Hwei's character being shallowed by the fandom into „Jhin's submissive boyfriend"?

I have the impression that the relationship with Jhin is inappropriately reduced to a romantic relationship, and considered by many people, practically, as canon. For me, calling their relationship romantic is simply reducing what we know. We were never given any evidence that Hwei felt romantic feelings for Jhin. It was constantly emphasized in the lore that Jhin simply knew how to bring out the best in Hwei. Their relationship was based on manipulation and artistic admiration. For both characters, art was the most important thing in their lives. Their relationship shows a different approach to expressing it, but respect for each other.
