It's funny how quick fans were to ship these two since their names are based on two lovers from the Italian play, Commedia dell'arte.
I mean, this was made by a team of professional writers at a big company, I'm pretty sure they were well aware that the characters from the original play were lovers before they even wrote the game counterparts, combine that with Mihoyo's long history of yuri in their games and it all comes across as deliberate rather than accidental.

Actually, if Genshin were trying to be accurate to the commedia dell'arte, then Pierro and Columbina would be married. It's pretty obvious that Columbina and Arlecchino aren't a couple in Genshin since Genshin itself isn't making the Harbingers be exactly like their commedia dell'arte counterparts. So uh...stfu?
