World stability isn't the same as personal stability. People need good personal relationships, otherwise it's a parasite. I live in a fairly rural area, and some people have it so rough when it comes to other people that it drains their lives away. Stability still counts for a lot, even when you have material wealth. You can buy stuff. You can't buy happiness.

Yes, Keefe has never had another option. (I'm the weirdo who sort of thinks Keefe/Ro would be cute, or Keefe-grows-up-some-and-realizes-some-facts-about-deep-emotional-connections (he's an empath, so he feels everyone else and not himself.))

Fitz could not have another option, however. Wylie and Linh don't get much spotlight, but I feel like Wylinh is happening. If that happens, Fitz and Keefe are on the same page. I think the author will do that, because she's going to make this as painful as possible.

Can I mention that, of all the high school couples I know in reality, few of them stay together for very long? Teenagers, and most young adults, burn fast and hot and then the love dies. That's what I feel like Sokeefe would be like. They could be nice together, but I feel like it would end sooner or later. Sophitz is stable (yes, that word again). They could be a long-term couple, and when it comes to elves, long-term is millenia.

On a side note, I hate love triangles. I am certain this will be put off until the last book, so Shannon please prove me wrong. I think that whoever Shannon picks, she will lose all the other shippers as a fanbase. That sort of happened in Wings of Fire, and Moonbli isn't even in the latest book! I'm an author. Sure, I'll play with crushes. I'll do dating relationships. Love triangles--never. Angers too many shippers.
