Thank you Spider-Man No Way Home for confirming what I have ...

Always has been. Imagine inheriting the powers of [insert creature here] and not getting the thing it's known for. Imagine Zebraman having to paint on his stripes. He'd be laughed out of superhero school.
In the 90s Spider-Man cartoon it's explicitly stated that the spider bite somehow gave him the knowledge of how spider web worked and allowed him to make it. If the genius aspect of Peter bothers you, you can always think about it that way, lol
Also the reason he can't sell it is because it's just really strong glue that lasts an hour
Also I am already over this weird "The Andrew Garfield movies aren't fucking trash" retcon people seem to be trying to pull. He was great in No Way Home. So was Jamie Foxx. The one scene between them is better than both ASM movies combined.

It really doesn't. It makes him a clever engineer and a really smart chemist, but not a super genius. The actual formula for web fluid came with the rest of his powers. If someone without a strong chemistry background had gotten it, they wouldn't have been able to make the fluid, yes, but if it wasn't for the bite, neither would Peter.
The webshooters aren't that special, just something an average person couldn't build.

If there's anything 30 years of comic books being in pop culture, Dr Doom tooting horns, and Slayven's threads have taught me, it's that we more we move away from that tier of dumpster fire writing, the better.
At least the radioactive semen stuff was in its own What If non-canon story. The JMS stuff was in the main series and his attempt to basically recreate Spider-Man. Dude thought he was Alan Moore'ing it, and I guess he kind of was in a way since Marvel let him do that buck wild stuff, but it never did quite fit.
