This is why I always liked Mordaret. It was never because I liked Margaret, but because I was on a journey with Mordecai on his growing interest towards her. She was able to push boundaries with him that we couldn't see with other characters, and was able to influence feelings and motivations in Mordecai that gave us a different perspective on him. We were able to see him happy, we saw him sad, mad, embarassed, lovesick; we saw just about every emotion because he wanted to be with Margaret. It took him a long time and he was finally able to win her heart, and, to me, the journey was well worth it. For me, I shipped Mordaret because of we got to explore the experience an amazing character. I myself don't commonly ship the fandom ships (I don't ship much at all, tbh), which is why the only reason I cared about Mordaret is because of Mordecai. This is also why I ship him with CJ. We get different motivations and perspectives from Mordecai and the journey he takes with his relationships. Overall, whatever makes Mordecai happy makes me happy.

As for Margaret herself, she does seem like a genuinely nice character. She's cute, shes fun, she's outgoing, but that's all I can really say. I feel that, for those who don't ship Mordaret, really detest her because she is really only there as Mordecai's love interest. I myself enjoy Margaret being on the show, but I feel that I would probably love her character a lot more if we got more of an insight on who she was, and not just to keep the plot moving forward.
