Why are some people so obsessed with this character? I get that she can be drawn very sexily, but so can any other character. Red heads in comics are a dime a dozen. It just seems like some Spider-Man fans give zero shits about Spider-Man and only ever want to read flowery dialogue from Mary Jane.

probably because the marriage was undone by means of the worst character assassination in comics rivaled only by the Pym slap
nobody would've been this hung up if Marvel has just Crisis on Infinite Earth'd it

Mary Jane used to be fun incarnate, and then actual real character work was done where the fun was also a mask for deeper issues that better writers explored and worked with to make her relatable but also fearful of Peter, the commitment and responsibility she was both yearning for but terrified of due to what she saw growing up. Thus compelling drama but also a rock upon which Peter could rely upon when events were feeling too much for him. Peter's greatest champion and a cause for him to crawl out of a grave.
Of course since OMD she's nothing now. She's not a partner. She's not really a person. They still to this day don't know what to do with her, because her natural chemistry is a magnet for Peter. They invent contrived and contradicting reasons to keep her away, but never far enough they can't cash in on her still enduring popularity. A popularity enduring despite a multi-decades character assassination by the same cabal who laugh at the thought of her getting raped and murdered.
She's a useful nothing tool in the BND toybox to sell variety covers and give angst to Peter. The football that Lucy the editor invites fans to run at. Just laugh at the increasing irrelevance of 616 to anything Spider-Man, and wait a few decades more for the gnarled hands of hack writers to finally be pulled off.

Depends on which MJ. She has distinct characters at this point.
Pre OMD? Short of the usual suspects kicking and screaming in the 90's, she's S-tier.
Post? Ooft. Breaks things off due to your Superhero career and then goes to be Tony's aid. And that's only the start of the nonsense.

Sliding timeline was a mistake. It's physical impossible for Peter to be under 30 and Dylan and Normie to be the ages they are unless Peter graduated high school at 16.

If they had just divorced due to Superheroics proving too much for MJ, it would have sucked to read and be a major crimp in previous characterisation for MJ, but it would be understandable.
However they didn't want to harm their product by marring it with divorce, far better a diabolical pact. Ironically cementing the relationship as that of Soulmates, where any relationship that isn't them is in fact a scenario where the devil won. The Gwenfags ironically ascended her rival to that of a heavenly approved relationship.

because the marriage was ended by a analog for satan for no real creative desire, just to piss people off and generate interest. and theyre still doing it today with making her venom, its still purely based on the resentment from one more day and knowing that created a 'will they/wont they' and its on purpose because they know there was no proper resolution to the character
