I will maintain that Marvel phases 1 - 3 (Iron Man 1 up until Avengers: Endgame) is a piece of cinematic history that is entirely unique and very very much worthwhile. An interwoven, interconnected cinematic universe on that scale has never happened before, and likely never will again, and though moment-to-moment quality varies there's also some genuinely excellent cinema in there too.

But...

It feels like a complete narrative. 20+ movies in that run, it's absolutely HUGE, but it has a clear beginning (the character origin movies), middle (the Avengers era and build up) and end (Infinity war/Endgame and the death of Iron Man).

Spider-man movies as a standalone franchise - even with cameos from other MCU characters - could have continued (e.g. Doctor Strange in No Way Home).

The rest of it just feels tacked on. It feels like extra, unnecessary filler content. But Disney greed meant they had to keep putting out content.

IMO it was a terrible decision, they should have shelved EVERYTHING after Endgame for 5 - 10 years and then started a new X-Men series. Hype would have been huge. As it is, people are fatigued. Again, you could have had guest appearances from old MCU characters in X-Men films, but make it a whole fresh start with a lengthy break.
