For me it matters because the dynamic between Lois and Clark is a big part of the mythos. When that isn't interesting you lose something. It can still function but its still a loss. And for my money the dynamic hasn't been interesting since about the time their honeymoon literally ended at the end of '96. Its been a downward tailspin ever since. It had a five year break for the New 52, and came back as the exact same monumental bore. There's zero spark, so to me something should change. And a kid, at least this kid, hasn't been the answer. He's done nothing to reinvigorate their dynamic, and understandable as supplementing them was never the goal with him. So to me its not trivial. You gotta have that spark with her. Rivals, lovers, friends, whatever the dynamic may be, nothing has to be set in stone just so long as its engaging. And as marrieds its been watching paint dry. That hasn't changed in two decades now so I gave up hope long ago it will.
