Do you know why Spider-Verse Miles is my favorite Spider-Man?
He, without having a choice, had to do in two days, what took all the other Spider-Sonas in the multiverse weeks, become Spider-Man, all under the unimaginable pressure of being the successor to the previous Spider-Man of his universe, which left the bar too high, having to meet everyone else's expectations, and having to go through a tortuous journey while learning from his mentor.
Even when the spider-gang not only didn't trust him but even seemed to dislike Miles at first (Except, of course, Gwen and Peter B, who are very special cases)
And pressing him to see if he was ready and treating him like just a kid (Even Peni).
All so that he then went to his uncle, who was like a second father to him and someone who truly understood Miles, only to find out that he had always been a hitman, going so far as to almost end with the life of his nephew, until he realizes what he was about to do and... well, tragedy happens.
The death of Uncle Aaron, due to the depth and history behind it, remains the most tragic "death of Uncle Ben" in all of cinema... ever.
Miles stopped being the same since then, and even when a hurricane of emotions possessed him, he learned that no matter what, Spider-Man always gets up and keeps going, at the same time he learned to take his leap of faith. Before becoming Spider-Man he had a normal and happy life, but after being bitten by that spider his whole life fell apart, but of course, Miles is someone truly strong and full of determination thanks to the people close to him.
In two days, he surpassed almost the entire Spider-gang, and in a year and a half he become almost a professional as Spider-Man, even giving lessons to everyone else, and making it clear to Gwen and the others what truly means being Spider-Man, not standing by crossed arms while someone is in danger, but trying to do everything you can to save everyone, doing both things, even when it seems impossible, Spider-Man should always try, because everything it's possible.
At the same time that Miles felt stabbed in the back by the same people to whom he wanted to dedicate his entire future just to see them again since he felt alone and sad inside in the world without them, and, specially, without Gwen.
And let me remind something, Miles actually thinks she doesn't even love him and only sees him as a friend, but he still wants to see her
On the ATSV betrayal, he release all that hurricane of emotions that he had to swallow and accumulate inside during ITSV and during that entire year and a half for not having time for ALL those things said before, leading him to have anxiety and panic attacks (Something confirmed in the synopsis of the short "The Spider Within")
All so that they later reveal to him that he was a mistake, an anomaly, that he should never have been Spider-Man, that he killed the Peter of his universe, causing everything that gave MEANING to his life fell down in just a few minutes, leaving Miles more traumatized, mortified and with more trust issues than he already had before.
He really became one of the most tragic character of all the saga (Along with Peter B and, put it in some way, Miguel O' Hara)
And just because Miles looks with a cool and chill personality doesn't mean he's any less traumatized and mortified on the inside (An example is Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man).
Even though in the comics that nickname is only used because that is what his universe is called, in the movies, on the other hand, even though there are people on the internet who deny the fact that he is currently becoming an unstoppable phenomenon that is marking an entire generation and will mark future generations, Miles Morales proved to be, without a doubt, the Ultimate Spider-Man.
As a bonus, even though she always screwed up with everyone around her, both the living and the dead, Gwen showed that she really loves Miles and that he truly is the love of her life, however, needless to say, she has a lot of work to do in her redemption arc to be able to fix things with Miles, which will be very difficult but not impossible, even more so taking into account all the hate she received for everything that happened in ATSV.
Now she has to PROVE not only to him, but to all of us viewers, that she truly deserves to be with Miles, that they can have a life together by her own merit, and that all the hate towards her after the ATSV release it's truly unfair.
However, I have to be realistic, there are characters like Peni or even Peter B who should not be anything more than simple 'acquaintances' or 'partners' for Miles, since, with what they did, the term "Friend" It's too big for them.
In any case, Miles has the last word.

Just a thought:
If Gwen sensed Miles twice in another dimension... why are we assuming that's the first time that happened?
What if all the time they were apart, because of Gwen's connection to Miles and how much he means to her, she could sense him all along. And, because of that, she felt all kinds of sadness for knowing he was hurt/struggling but couldn't do anything about it because of Spider Society rules, etc.
Maybe that could also explain why Gwen gave Miles such a big ass hug. Yes she's a hugger, yes she missed him, but what if she was also just glad he was okay?
Something to think about...

People have the rights to their headcanons
People should feel free to make their own ships without having to worry about randoms coming and spreading negativity about them
Lets talk about Gwiles Haters
So, I'm sure a lot of you have seen the posts under the gwiles and Ghostflower tags where people talk about their opinions on Gwen and Miles' relationship.
Now, these people should feel free to not like Gwiles. They don't have to support the ship and they don't have to be a part of it. Its a headcanon. Gwiles isn't canon, and at this point we don't even know if it will be canon.
But you can't put down other people for enjoying themselves.
I see people writing posts spreading Gwiles negativity and then posting it under the gwiles tag. They talk about how much they hate the relationship and then fill the gwiles tag with their negativity. This is unfair to people who actually like the Ghostflower relationship.
I personally go through the gwiles tag often, because they're my comfort couple and I love them, but recently, I've noticed that the tag is filled to the brim with Gwiles hate. Like a lot of Gwiles hate.
Not only do you have people posting their reasons as to why gwiles is "bad", you have people commenting under gwiles posts and putting down writers and artists for drawing the ship.
Now, you've got to ask the question, why are they even using the Gwiles ship to spread negativity?
Clout.
By writing their negative viewpoints in a tag specifically meant for the positive view of that ship, they're able to gain more interactions, like comments, which spread their posts even further. They're trying to brew up conflict.
Gwen and Miles have their own respective storylines.
Gwen and Miles are their own people.
But that doesn't mean that there's something wrong with shipping them. And it doesn't mean that you can't enjoy their relationship.
Now, if you aren't a gwiles supporter, then feel free to write your own posts and create your own tags. But stop putting other people down for enjoying themselves and stop forcing your views onto others. They're fictional characters.
And whether you like it or not, Gwen and Miles are going to end up together. Its canon in the comics. And its very obvious in the spider verse movies.

If the Miles-1610 and Gwen-65 we know in the Spider-Verse trilogy actually do become Earth-8 Miles and Gwen by the end of Beyond the Spider-Verse, I really hope they don't become a celebrity couple.
We learned that Miles got cancelled multiple times on social media, and Gwen got treated as a pariah for accidentally causing her Peter's death. Obviously, their public treatments are not equal, but the point remains that that clout hasn't always been favorable to them.
Given their experiences, I feel like those two would really like to be low-key about their relationship and would want to continue as the friendly, neighborhood Spider heroes as they've always been. Being a celebrity couple would likely distract them from that ideal and might change their behaviors for the worse, especially if they're subject to the court of public opinion.
Sure, they'd find it cute when people inevitably ship their Spider-selves, but I think they'd do their best to keep their real relationship behind closed doors.
