That doesn't necessarily mean that the overwhelming gender/age demographic focus of Kyubey is one such exception, though.

You yourself admit that it's possible that Madoka's magical potential will fade with age, which would logically mean that Kyubey's interest in her will wane.

So that alone means it's possible that the ending we're discussing is not all "false hope". Maybe it really does indicate that Homura has succeeded in preventing Madoka from ever contradicting as a Puella Magi.


Something else that should be kept in mind here - Some people believe that Madoka felt great guilt during Episode 4 because she couldn't bring herself to wish Mami back to life (that's the most logical explanation for the guilt that Madoka expresses when confronted by the TV-Witch, imo). And that Madoka wasn't even aware that magical girls could turn into witches; Madoka was simply scared due to having seen how Puella Magi can endure gruesome deaths in "the line of duty".

So I don't think that Madoka is entirely without a sense of self-preservation.
