I can understand what you're saying, but Spider-Man has had other jobs over the years, so it's not like this is some random thing coming out of nowhere. Like I said before, this could easily be done as a bit of an adaptation of what he's currently doing in the comics as CEO of Parker Industries, although he'd just be working for Stark Industries instead of his own company.
I do agree that the Daily Bugle is a big part of his story, but I think we've seen in the comics that you can do Spider-Man stories without it.
Sure, but at *this* point in his life, it's what his character should be doing. Just like before becoming Batman proper, Bruce Wayne should be travelling the globe, getting himself trained and how Clark Kent should be spending his youth in a small farming town doing Smallville farmboy things. It's just how the character's story is constructed. Indeed, it's a vital component of their development.
Peter can absolutely become the CEO of a tech start-up, but that's all grown up, post-college, married to M.J. Peter, not awkward, struggling, not sure of himself, high School Peter. There needs to be a character arc to get from here to there. By the same measure, you can't introduce Dick Grayson and skip straight to Nightwing and the Titans....well you can, but you're not doing a good job of adapting the character, you're making a new, less interesting character and just stealing the name.
At the start of 1971, Galaxy Communications bought the Daily Planet and Clark, Lois, and Jimmy became TV reporters for the WGBS television station. Clark was the on-air anchor (eventually joined by Lana Lang as his co-anchor), and Lois and Jimmy were star field reporters. This status quo existed in the comics (and in Elliot S! Maggin's wonderful Superman novels, Last Son of Krypton and Miracle Monday) until the Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot, nearly 16 years in all. That's fully 20% of the entire history of the character.
Point 1: What you're describing isn't a significant departure of the traditional set-up, it's just a transparent attempt to modernise it. One that misses the whole point of how the set-up was supposed to work and how it reflected his character.
Point 2: Wonder Woman spent a good chunk of her run in the 60's or 70's as a mortal, powerless government agent in a pantsuit or some-such. Time spent on a bad idea doesn't make it any less of a bad idea, or than any further interpretations should follow it's example.
