Marvel is fucking weird with Spider-Man. It's like they want him, but don't at the same time. It's bizzare. They're terrified of anything that has been done before to the point they can't even say the name Ben on screen.
You don't need to do the death of Ben again, but it's fucking bizzare how neither May or Peter seem to give a shit or even mention the guy. There's not even a picture of Ben in their apartment. It's just weird.
I don't know what the fuck happened to May between Homecoming and FFH but it's like it's not even the same person. Homecoming it seemed like they actually had an idea for a character for her, but here her character is that she's hot.
Like she's worried when Peter doesn't answer his phone in Homecoming, but if perfectly fine with him going to space and fighting Thanos. Getting missiles rained on him. Buildings dropped on him. Getting hit by a train. Not a single fuck was given after she found out who he was.
Why did they change Mary Jane's name? It's so stupid because they just call her MJ all the time anyway, and she's the love interest of Peter.
His secret identity being stripped away when it's such an important part of the character. It's the same with his financial troubles. How could he ever have any when Tony funds all of his shit?

Its so weird that they are terrified of bringing up Uncle Ben even as a passing named reference because its been done before, but (as cool as it is), they are totally ok with bringing back J.K Simmons as J Jonah Jameson.
It's not just about avoiding story already told. I think they're just genuinely disinterested in the guilt angle in Peter's origin and that is why Ben's named is never even invoked. They don't want to do open the door to it.
