I mean, for all intensive purposes, it is about holding on to hope in the face of despair, in the sense that the world Madoka lives in clearly has worth in protecting. She made a carefully thought out wish after seeing the fact that so many magical girls see that they became a tool of logic for a little bit of ethics.

That's the conclusion you arrive at if you look at it from a philosophical (if that's the right term) standpoint. Objectively, they still make a deal with the devil, still spend their lives fighting a never-ending battle, still live on borrowed time that can only be extended by scarcely availible mcguffins only gained through fighting. Probably still have to ration, compete and fight each other for those mcguffins when there's not enough to go around or risk magically starving to death. It's great that if you die you rapture into heaven(?) instead of turning into a monster but really, does it matter all that much? Dead = Dead.
Becoming a magical girl is still the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever.

Martyrdom is a thing. Not everyone subscribes to it, though. And obviously, most magical girls in this series doesn't realize they've been turned into liches in order to be granted their wishes.
