Nah, insulting or downplaying other fandoms is not our style.. This ship/otp does not need defending all of their development is all 640 chapters ^^.
You must be new here. Insulting and downplaying happens all the time on this website. Although I'm glad you choose not to do that, you have my respect for that.
EDIT:
The war and not to mantion that Juubito ,Madara,Orochimaru and all the other antigonists are still around and there is the Sasuke issue...
Furthermore we havent seen Sakura's 100% confirmation of moving on/forgeting about Sasuke which is a great factor up till this day many people refuse to acknowledge her moving on just cuz its ''true love''.. or w/e they call it

I wonder what their next moment would look like , any assumptions?
As for the villains, they don't really matter much in terms of pairings, so they're nothing more than a temporary freeze in pairing development while the plot moves forward.
What you said about Sasuke makes a lot of sense. The only real way for NaruSaku to be satisfying is if Sakura was honestly in love with Naruto alone and vice versa. What I predict is as follows :
First would be Sakura resolving her feelings for Sasuke, then comes the final nail in the coffin, which would either be a kiss or a proposal.
I also wouldn't be at all surprised if we got several more minor NaruSaku moments leading up to canon that hint towards either of those two events which I had mentioned in my previous statement.
