Yes I agree, I love the depiction of the relationship between Gosling and de Armas. It's a crucial part of the theme - what constitutes a 'real' person? Do machines and holograms have souls and can they love? It's telling that the most real, loving relationship in the whole film is between a replicant (Gosling) and his hologram girlfriend (de Armas). The 'real' humans seem broken and selfish, while the synthetic humans are loving and self-sacrificing.
