It's why I hate everything IW/Endgame did to Loki, Gamora, and Thor. Busted excuses to just "reboot" characters because the writers couldn't figure out how to deal with their character growth and changed relationships with each other and the world.

I...don't think that's what's going on here. MJ and Ned are not main characters, they're supporting characters. We like them, but the function they serve within the story is to motivate Peter's decisions. And the thesis that NWH presents is that, to some degree, MJ and Ned's lives would be better and safer without the baggage Peter brings to their lives as Spider-Man. It's not rebooting them because they don't know what to do with them, it's using them to push Peter's character development which is...the exact point of a supporting character. I think you missed the point of NWH's ending if you think they're trying to "reboot" MJ and Ned. If anything, it's far more likely they're just trying close out those characters' story arcs for the foreseeable future.

I also don't think this is true for Loki and Gamora either. They just wanted those characters to be present for new storylines without cheapening the impact of their original counterparts' deaths.
