Why isn't it retconned?
We've seen comics back off on something that's incredibly unpopular all the time, especially when they negatively impact sales. And yet OMD, the most unpopular and most damaging comic for Spider-Man is still canon. This is a comic that has had thousands of people drop Spider-Man forever. And this came out in 2008, almost ten years ago.
They created a fake sidekick for Peter, they killed off Peter, they made Peter into Tony Stark, all to temporarily shake things up and get sales to increase. There's Renew Your Vows, an ongoing comic where he's still married to MJ and they have a daughter (soon to be aged up).
And yet they aren't budging on getting rid of the comic that is potentially costing them thousands of dollars each month. And it's not even about movie rights.
