Man, I'll be the first to admit I didn't get much of that and know next to nothing about the comic super heroes and franchises.
But, wasn't Spider Man a Marvel character to begin with? So, wouldn't it make sense that he be in Marvel movies with other super heroes? Like I said, I know nothing about this, so excuse my ignorance.

In the mid 90s Marvel was going bankrupt so they sold off many of their properties movie rights. Sony got Spider-Man, and has kept it all this time buy making movies. I guess this is their way of still keeping the rights but allowing Marvel a chance to add them to the MCU without getting the rights back

Basically, Mahvul got Sony by the balls and said, "we'll kill spidey off" and Sony's like, "But muh money."
And that, kids, is why we have to suffer through more Spider-Man movies.
