I mean, no one cared after Endgame. It felt like the Avengers movies were done then. Apparently the only ones that did not pick up on that was Marvel.

It's not that the MCU was "done" but there was a clear buildup towards a giant team up vs an overarching enemy.
Everything after that is just a bunch of vague one-shots that don't have clear direction or any real purpose linking to other films, yet still require you to know a ton of backstory and side characters to "get" it. It's like asking the audience to do homework with no payoff.
Also the wiring quality did drop noticeably, partly because they're running into the problem of trying to incorporate lore from 30 other movies into each one.
It's not just that the major arc ended. The quality of writing was also in decline before endgame, and that hasn't changed.
I haven't seen it. But to be honest, I haven't watched a Marvel film since Avengers: Age of Ultron. It just feels like they're recycling the same stuff over and over.
There's some great stuff post-AoU. Captain America: Civil War is one of my favorite Marvel movies ever.
That's still a bunch of money. Maybe if they made cheaper movies...
