The biggest thing is just content. The sheer amount is intimidating. Despite my enjoyment of Superman I had not seen Reeve and knew more from cartoons or Lois and Clark than anything in comics or films.

Batman was always Adam West.
I guess that might be the case. I keep forgetting I am old!
Well, older teens and college students, probably, but otherwise, that's exactly the point. There are many different demographics out there, so it's unwise to expect everyone in the audience to have the same knowledge and interests. One of the first rules of writing I learned was, never assume your audience knows what you know.
Way back in the '90s, I submitted a spec script to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and got an invitation to fly out to LA and pitch ideas to the show. While I was there, I stayed with my cousin who works in the film industry; he founded a company that's responsible for providing most of the bicycle, skateboard, skating, etc. equipment and stunts in Hollywood productions, or at least was at the time. At one point during my stay, I got to talking about how I'd gotten nowhere with my spec script to The Next Generation and was hoping to get a chance to pitch to Voyager, and it gradually came out that my cousin had no idea that the shows I was talking about were related to each other, or to Star Trek. He was actually part of the film and TV industry, but was unfamiliar with one of the biggest and most successful franchises on TV at the time. (To be fair, there haven't exactly been a lot of bicycle or skateboard scenes in Trek.) I learned then that you can never make assumptions about other people's media knowledge. Even someone that you'd expect to have the knowledge might actually have a narrower focus than you realize.
Sure. But many people is not all people.
Especially the guy who played one of Scarlett's suitors. George something. ...Reeves maybe?
^Seriously? I didn't know that.
I don't know, MCU is more popular than the Arrowverse, but Green Arrow does have a lot more screen time, so there's more of a chance of people seeing him.
Yeah, and Smallville started at a time before superheroes and comics had permeated the popular culture the way they have no, so there were probably still a lot of non-nerds out there, especially younger people, who wouldn't have been aware of the details of characters like Superman.
Marvel TV Exec Confirms We're Getting More Moon Knight (But Not Season 2)
Marvel fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as we now have confidence that we’re going to see Moon Knight return to the MCU in the future. The unfortunate side of the equation, however, it that the return of Oscar Isaac’s beloved character likely won’t be in a second season of the hit Moon Knight […]

The contents of that article don't actually say "Moon Knight won't get a second season", which makes that headline more than a little 'clickbait'-y.
I haven't watched Moon Knight yet, so I can't say whether or not getting confirmation of the character returning in some capacity is a good thing or not, but we'll see.

I guess Sony think it dilutes the appeal of the movies?
Bad rights deals made by Marvel when they were skint.
It really isn't. People forget that Marvel Studios was only licensing the character of Spider-Man for his appearances in Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame and that his 3 other MCU film appearances are wholly owned by Sony. In order to have Spider-Man show up in live-action TV, Marvel Studios and Sony would have to either amend the current licensing agreement to include television appearances or agree to a new licensing contract that exclusively covered said appearances.

Speaking of the Russo Brothers, I recently found out that they had a channel on YouTube. I discovered this a couple days ago when this interview with MCU unsung hero, Marvel casting director Sarah Haley Finn, appeared in my YouTube feed.
