Characterfags often have deluded perspectives of their favorite character or self-insert heavily, overwriting the characters' traits, preferences, and motivations with their own. Sometimes it's unconscious and they don't realize they're doing it. This means a characterfag saying something is "for the best" does not automatically mean it really is the best for the characters, you need to take it with a grain of salt.

I personally think Shadria is the best for both characters. Maria was a very lonely girl before Shadow came around, by her own admission. Although her life was cut short, her last few years were tolerable because Shadow was there by her side. She got to feel less like a burden, she finally had a useful role to play, and that was teaching Shadow what beauty, friendship, kindness, love, and happiness are. He in turn would watch over her and distract her from the pain of her illness.
As for Shadow, Maria was one of the only good things he's ever had. From the very beginning, he didn't work on her illness. He was immediately plunged into a stressful situation, and his sense of self-worth was derived from something out of his control. But Maria was there, she was a master at distracting him from his own spiraling negative thoughts about himself.
Without Maria, Shadow probably would not be fighting for good. He might not even be alive. If he hadn't remembered her wish, he would have been nothing but a weapon, a weapon with no motivation to see good in anybody since he would never have experienced Maria's love. Shadow would not be the Shadow we know without Maria, but with Maria's light in his heart, he will continue to fight to give everyone a chance to be happy.

A universe where Maria lived, where Shadow and Maria could be by each other's side, would be what would make both of them happiest beyond anything else. They were objectively good influences in one another's lives. I support that and cannot understand it when people hate it.
