Who knows.
There is a part of me that just cant GAF about Disney not making heinous amounts of money but then there is another part of me that realizes that without that sickening profit they're going to generate less content of lower quality and that will also suck.
Its part of separating the existence of Evil Disney Executives and massively wealthy and overly self-important and self-indulgent stars and actors and the actual humans who do most of the work on movies and TV shows trying to make a living.

There recent MCU movies just seen too bland for me to see in the theatres. It also seems like the movies aren't comic book-ey enough for me. They seem to much like generic action movies now.
That being said, I'm paying for Disney Plus, and might not do that if they stopped making these movies. Disney walks away with more money, with me paying for the subscription vs seeing 3-4 Disney movies in theaters a year.
The public overall does have an appetite for some superhero movies. Batman and Spiderverse. That helped those movies succeed wasn't just that they were good but also that they seemed to have a more directed audience. Batman is a darker adult oriented film. Spiderverse was more child friendly. The MCU is going too generic and too wide in their intended appeal. I'm not taking about the marvels specifically. For example, Ant-Man was just too safe to be any good.
