-Groans like a zombie-

Look... Dream guys aren't real. There's a reason they're called dream guys. They are superficial. The reason why we ship Keefe with Sophie is the fact that despite his rather sad and nasty childhood, he fights it all to be with Sophie. He genuinely wants to be good. He puts in effort to make Sophie happy. That's why he stayed in bed to recover even though he desperately wanted to leave. That's why he supports her when she's panicking. That's why he stayed back so many times in book 4 instead of leaving their hideout just because she asked him to.

And remember, Fitz yelled at her in book 2 and many times in Flashback. He hardly made any efforts to change his behavior. Meanwhile, you get to see Keefe joined the Neverseen then fighting King Dimitar by himself. But after seeing how upset Sophie got, he realized his mistake and fixed it.

You can list out why each character is perfect. But at the end of the day, it's WHICH character that puts in the effort to make their relationship work with Sophie is what matters. THAT is what makes it meaningful and relatable. And THAT is what we SoKeefe shippers haven't seen much from Fitz.
