Conformity and keeping favor with the studio are probably the culprits.
Critics want to be cool more than honest/critical now, and the few exceptions have leaned into the contrarian side. There's much less of an honest middle ground. With most of the marvel features I think they talk themselves into liking it well enough. Then they get invited to the next fancy Disney pre-screening event as positive reinforcement.
Only a couple of MCU movies since endgame should've eclipsed 70%
(anyways that conversation has nothing to do with HOTD - great show!)
