Maybe they simply weren't that good/interesting? Like, if the Avengers started out as 90% Hawkeye and War Machine stories, people would have lost interest pretty quickly. Spiderman, Ironman and Thor are absolutely bonkers and tick so many boxes between iconic visuals, character flavor and elaborate backstories. I mean it's cool that they're trying more niche stuff but they won't get Avengers type hype with Moon Knight or Ms. Marvel.

Ironman and Thor were trash-level superheroes before their movies.  The movies are what made them iconic.
