I feel like they're pulling story cues from the Civil War to Endgame arc in the MCU. The heroes are scattered, some in hiding, some presumed dead. A great threat to the city and world has emerged and against great odds they must unite and save the world again.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all in, love it, and the writing is great. Some of it just seems familiar.
I think it has more to do with how you tell a story with this many characters. They've expanded the cast so much you couldn't have them all in the same place for the entire series. Giving them different storylines that drive towards the same finale helps give all the characters enough screen time, probably helps with production and lets them tell a few different stories within the season.
