I was thinking back on No Way Home and MCU Peter and Miguel are actually something of a dichotomy. They were both presented with a similar choice but chose different responses, and suffered in different ways because of their choices
The choice, when boiled down, is choosing between the safety of their world or their loved ones. For Peter his loved ones are Ned and MJ, for Miguel it is Gabriella and maybe his wife and brother (they aren't mentioned in the movie)
Both Miguel and Peter were endangering their worlds due to their actions with Miguel breaking canon and Peter summoning hordes of Spider-man villains to his universe (which by MCU multiverse rules would eventually destroy it and potentially others due to incursions)
Miguel chose to try and have a paternal relationship with his daughter, which resulted in that universe dying alongside his daughter. Peter chose to sacrifice his personal relationships to save his universe and, when presented with the choice to rekindle them, doesn't, to protect Ned and MJ.
Because of their choices, Miguel lost his world and his loved ones while Peter lost his place in his world and his connection to his loved ones
In a metaphorical sense, Peter also lost his world as meaningful connections/ties he had to it are gone
It's a fascinating parallel as Miguel put his connection to Gabriella over his universe and tragically lost both, while Peter put the universe above his connection to Ned and MJ and lost all ties to both.
In Video Game Terms, Peter got the comparatively good ending while Miguel got the bad ending
Hope MCU Peter is a character in BTSV and this concept is explored
