If the whole Yasu debacle didn't happen, Natsuhi would be the uncontested best mother. Even with that, I'd still regard her as the best. She's just too precious.

You're not wrong, that sort of thing is the fun of 'shipping'. It's making that reasoning, and expanding upon it, that elevates it from simply thinking two characters together look cute to thinking it could work in some capacity without radically changing how the characters act, and thus thinking a 'ship' is possible. It's just the pitfall of degenerating down from thinking of ways a pairing could work whilst still knowing it didn't happen to 'this actually happened' or 'this is what should have happened' that you have to watch out for. Stuff where the end relationship ends up being ambiguous like in Higurashi tends to end up being the worst for that sort of thing, as people try to extrapolate who Keiichi would end up with, and so when the answer is irrefutably 'we don't know', they end up saying 'we do know' instead. That's the point shipperfags become outright insufferable, since then they start shouting at others for having opposite beliefs as they believe their side is the truth thanks to what they extrapolated, completely ignoring that at the end of the day, Keiichi never got with anyone in the first place.
Something like Umineko is obviously much better for it, since the main character goes all the way to marriage and implied fucking sessions with the woman he likes, but you still get the occassional idiot that somehow thinks Natsuhi and Eva make perfect sense despite all the shit against it, for example. I'm not actually certain if anyone really believes that one outside of the usual crowd who are always that bad anyway, but I can't think of any big examples outside of that one that I keep seeing when I looking at hag art.

And this is why we can't have nice things.
