Considering reorganization under bankruptcy is not equivalent to going out of business.

There’s not a lot of room for effective restructuring here — for Spirit it’s more of a revenue problem rather than just a debt service problem. They’d probably end up in Chapter 7 (liquidation) pretty soon after starting Chapter 11 proceedings

I don't feel sorry for shareholders here. There are risks with all investments and its not as if Spirit mislead investors or acted fraudulently. Sometimes, investments go bad, thats the risk.

We shouldn't prioritize shareholders over the general health of a marketplace

But it makes sense that with those alternatives shareholders would vote in favor of a buyout or a merger.
