I don't disagree, I think it has more to do with just cultural familiarity. Some of the older properties are sort of tied into their style and mythos in a way that can restrict them and keep them uninteresting. Superman, Fantastic 4, Hulk, I think fall into this trap. Batman and Spider-man escape it because they are actually interesting characters.
The rest don't really have the same notoriety and are able to be played with in a way that allows them to be updated or altered without a bunch of people crying about 'that was a BOY character!!" like comics haven't always been changing and updating themselves, swapping character backgrounds and genders and "woke" from inception.
