The two of them could never have a "traditional" friendship because of what their personalities are like, but that doesn't mean that their friendship could ever develop into something else. I do believe that there are many people, in any fandom, who'll ship male characters together just for the sake of shipping, or they think it's hot~ instead of they believe there could be a basis for something.
But House/Wilson is, uh, really not one of those "just because it's hot" ships. It's the most important relationship on the show, for pete's sake - that's not a ship based on nothing. (House/Chase, now - THAT'S pretty much just for the hot.)
You're perfectly welcome to read them as platonic (god knows they're going to stay that way, canonically); but if you really can't see where some people might ship them, well. I don't think that's because the slashers are seeing things. (We're not. The writers have admitted the subtext is intentional, even if it isn't going anywhere.) I would think it's because your interpretation of the canon is too rigid to allow for other ways of reading it.
