Sonic is an idealized paragon for the concept of Freedom, and living life your own way. He himself is simply a free spirited nomad who travels the world in search of adventure, but the story around Sonic is framing this freedom as the lesson you should learn and follow. Sonic is presented as "the coolest guy ever" with this freedom of his being the reason why.
As such, any scenario that tries to frame that freedom as "bad", or "wrong", is antithetical to the core narrative of Sonic. It's like trying to have a Spider-Man story where he completely abandons and lets go of his responsibilities and never struggle ever again and that being the status quo from then on, that shouldn't happen.
Sonic's personality is also so defined by being "cool" and being "free" that he is both cool and aloof without being too phased by anything, and so free-spirited that he's as detached from worldly concerns as a Tibetan monk. But, Sonic is impulsive, impatient, short-tempered, he's not detail-oriented, he's very rebellious, very fiercely independent, so averse to "commitment" and ANYTHING that impedes on his personal freedom that he acts weird around Amy, and doesn't follow any rules but his own. But, he's also very wise and street smart due to being a nomadic wanderer whose traveled the world and experienced all sorts of things it has to offer.
But in the end, a true Sonic story is never really about Sonic himself. It's about someone else, while Sonic serves as a metaphor for whatever the story's theme is. Like 06's story being about Elise, or the Storybook series following that framework with Shahra and Merlina. Black Knight itself focuses on how Sonic's presence and actions impacts and conflicts with the very nature of that world, represented by the Knights who are all thematically opposed to Sonic as Shadow, Knuckles and Blaze are already.
Sonic is "the cool guy" that Tails aspires to be, that Amy dreams of being with, and so on.
