Which gets boring after 10+ years seeing heros battling so called supervillains, defeating them easily and barely leaving with a scratch rinse and repeat.
You feel the same way about James Bond? He's been doing it for over 50 years...
The villains should be the source of the heros conflicts and should challenge them to beyond their physical/mental limit to their breaking point. MCU villains in general dont do that, as you say they're just plot devices which is why lots of fans and critics keep bringing up Marvels recurring villain problem.
Because even after all these years the idea that the villain is NOT the star of the show and the hero is actually a character and not a "Oppose the villain" cipher is still hard to swallow for some people. They WANT the hero to do nothing but react to the villain instead of being a proactive character in their own right.
