It was a very different time.
That's the thing though, it really wasn't. The execs were just as retarded then as they are now. The three things that people didn't like about the first Spider-Man movie (Green Goblin's Power Rangers costume, the organic web-shooters, Spider-Man's complete lack of humour) all came from Sony. It really was no less than a miracle that Raimi was able to make a decent movie and an even better sequel.

They're basically pulling a DSP by bragging about their past successes from a long while ago.

I hate the constructed web shooters. That's just plain retarded. Why would Peter Parker be able to build something like that?

"If X can make Y, how come he ain't stinking rich?!" is one of those questions that's haram in capeshitland.

Too busy smashing Aunt May?

And you wonder about his web shooters when the villain of the new movie is a construction worker who turned alien scrap metal into dimension-warping super weapons?

Dunno about the shooters themselves but an early Spider-Man did answer this question. Basically, because Spider-Man's webbing is supposed to bio-degrade after about an hour, it's completely useless for any practical application other than webbing.

I'm wondering why somebody even had that dumb idea in the first place. So all that shit is A-Okay and Spiderman can climb walls and shit, like a spider, but being able to shoot web naturally is somehow outrageous and has to be explained as some tool anybody in the story world could build.
It's like having Superman being able to do all his shit but for heat vision he has a pair of special goggles that do it.

Except he did have natural webshooters for a while, of course how he got that and stopped having that was a mess

Firstly it's not a tool just anybody could build. Only Spider-Man has the knowledge to create the webbing and build the web-shooting apparatus. Secondly, it's not a question of it being 'outrageous' that he would shoot his own organic webbing. I believe Stan Lee's on record as saying something like 'We just didn't think of it'. You've got to bear in mind that this was the sixties. The height of the space age. People were obsessed with gadgets and the web-shooters were a cool gadget. It's also in keeping with a lot of elements in the series.

Well, I dunno about heat vision but there are some versions of Superman where he can fly but he can't breathe in outer space, so he needs a spaceship to travel into deep space.
