Is it just me who wonders what Hyde and Jackie's lives would have been like if they had been endgame?

Two things, which have probably been spoken about but since I’m rewatching T70s, I thought were really neat about Jackie and Hyde.
1. While Jackie hangs out in the basement in seasons 1 and 2, the group constantly asks her what she’s doing there
she’s an unofficial member of the group but not really a part of it,
more like Donna’s friend or Kelso’s girlfriend
it’s only when Hyde defends her presence
and inducts her into the circle,
which they deem sacred
and takes her under his wing that I think she actually transitions to being one of the gang.
2. Obviously, Hyde willing to go to jail for Jackie isn’t underrated but I really love the argument they have before he gets arrested because the last thing he wants is for her to become someone else and as much as he doesn’t like her, he actually also really cares about her
which we’ve seen in the past
but also the way he says “no you don’t!” here
I don’t know, before, when he’s shutting her down, it’s about how much he doesn’t like her, how much she annoys him
but when she insists that he’s cool and he’s sweet, it’s like this resistance to the pressure of being liked, even when they go out in season 3 after he defends her he’s like
so every time I watch it I always get this sense of Hyde being like, not necessarily “I’m not good enough” but “I’m not the one you should have these expectations for, you can find someone else, anyone else” and I always found it vaguely heartbreaking but also really cute that when that same sentiment comes up when they’re together
he embraces being “This Guy” in other ways, such as shaving his beard.
Anyway.
