They just tried to do too much too fast. No one cares about a lot of the characters getting movies. Disney was in a bit of a tough spot though, as the existing characters seemed to be running out of steam (Ex: Thor and Black Widow, Dr. Strange, Black Widow, etc..), and the new characters they were introducing just weren't that good.
IMO Disney should have slowed things down and put a lot of effort into a really great Fantastic Four movie. That's probably easier said than done though, as there's been two massive failed attempts at FF.
What Disney has also done a poor job at is building with Phase 4. Phase 1 had individual movies, but they were all building towards Averngers. Phase 2 was meandering (and also criticized), and Phase 3 built towards Infinity War. We do have some building towards Kang, but it's really not focused.
I would have really preferred it if we had building towards Kang that was more focused. They should be much farther ahead now than they were. You could also introduce Dr. Doom along the way, which would build into some kind of Galactus tie in. It sounds like a lot, but it really isn't as Dr. Doom likes to play in the background and Galactus' arrival is meant to be relatively sudden.
