In the end, you have to keep in mind that not every story that contains romance is a love story (even if it is, in whole or in part, a "story about love").
Nothing prevents a genre shift either.

Spoiler for For other genre shifting mangas:


It will be Perfectly logical (outside of the Harem genre) for Kodaka and Sena to end up on a prolonged romantic relationship, especially if the central plot premise evolves from this point out. Once a girl confesses, she'd either be rejected, or will win in a harem situation.
Spoiler for V8 Spoiler:
. If so, a genre and premise shift may well be on the cards.

It might still be possible to explore the remaining girls in the Friendzone. I'd say that Rika too has an enormous amount of development too. Really, the most undeveloped character right now is Yukimura. Going by the logic that the last girl who develops romantically win in a LN, then Yukimura might as well be the leading contender right now.

Mind you, there was a badly OOC Hagani Fanfic that did make Yukimura the end girl.
