i'm going to preface this by saying i'm not a steve/sharon fan and never will be. but bringing peggy into any disagreement about their relationship at all is dumb. peggy got married and moved on. whether steve does/has is debatable, but let's be real for a moment; we all have that ex we don't fully get over, whether it's through hate or love. peggy probably always loved steve and steve will always love peggy, alive or dead, but they both had an unrequited love. that means there's no actual way anything can live up to the fantasy of what could have been, because nothing ever really was.
sharon being related to peggy doesn't have any real relevance, neither does 'childhood idolization', because anyone steve's apparent age in that world is going to have grown up with the same sort of 'idolization' (look at coulson), so unless you're saying steve has to date someone from asgard or gamora or something, there's no real way for him not to have someone know him on some level, just like any high-level celebrity.
my own personal reason for not liking sharon/steve is that it was a friendship and potential interest based on a lie. (and ftr, that potential interest sort of shows that while he may not be over peggy all the way and never will be, he's still interested in possibilities of his own).
outside of tony/pepper, the pacing for all the romances in mcu is trash. i hated nat/bruce all off screen. thor/jane's love at first concussion was just ridiculous. tony/pepper are really the only pair that have any build up, and she's not in awe of him and will call him out on his shit. while i dislike tony for a variety of reasons, if i had to pick a believable, sustainable ship in the series, i'd pick tony/pepper. even though i think she deserves better.
