I don't feel a necessity to deal with RRM, as kevodo b'mekomo munach,
he is practically contemporary.

As for the Maharsha, you did not quote him in context. He is not
coming to explain the mindset with which the brachah should be made,
but why it is not necessary, once one has said Shelo asani Ishah,
to also say Shelo asani Boor.
