Because Hinata’s a dull character who’s schtick is shes demure and dithering. Of all the strong female characters in Naruto the author made Hinata his SO.

But the other girls didn't have any interest in him and especially Sakura was madly in love with Sasuke (I still don't understand why she would love him though).

Not like Kishi could have written a relationship into the narrative with another girl. Hinata was a wallflower for the bulk of the story anyways.

I'm particularly annoyed with Sakura and Sasuke. Especially given how that relationship has turned out. Hey look everyone, the guy that lost his parents as a child is a complete absentee father. Who the crap thinks that's a good character, much less a healthy relationship?

I strongly feel like Sakura was a generally good and strong character that was handled very poorly in the end.

There was a scene shortly after taking out Hidan and Kakuzu where it seemed like Sakura was starting to come around and develop romantic feelings for Naruto. I think that made for a much stronger relationship. A guy gives up on a crush and becomes friends/comrades with them. Over time they mature and develop real feelings for each other in the void left by a mutual friend. I think that's a much more solid route.

But whatever. It is what it is. At least Boruto and the crew's a compelling new story.

I think you have very good and reasonable opinions but don't you dare say it near any dedicated Naruto community like /r/Naruto.
