What strikes me is that, in another reality, had Qui Gon lived.... Because Obi Wan was never truly Anakin's master. He never had sure authority over him. There was always tension, and they were both much happier - they got along much better when Anakin was made a knight, and they were older brother and younger brother again, competitive, friendly, more like equals.
And Anakin never had a master. Not until he was brought so low... But even before then, he was searching. He needed validation from someone he could wholeheartedly trust and respect.
