It didn't need an Uncle Ben death scene. Just to make it clear Peter does what he does because of Uncle Ben and not Uncle Tony.
For all we know, kids might grow up thinking Spider-Man is Iron Man's Robin or something.
You know the praised lifting rubble scene? In the comics, he finds the strength to lift the rubble in order to reach Aunt May's meds, since her life is at stake and he can't fail her like he did Uncle Ben. In the movie it's Stark's pep talk, focused on Peter's "self"...not so much "others".
Raimi's films are the only ones which have "with great power comes great responsibility" verbatim, and that counts for a lot these days.

Maguire is the best because of "I had a father, his name was Ben Parker". With the Amazing movies they played up Peter's real parents and the mysteries they left behind, but this weakened the bonds he had with Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Plus the half-assed storytelling meant it didn't go anywhere. Then they leaned into the "Uncle Tony" angle too hard with Homecoming. It may not be the intention that he's doing the superhero thing for Stark, but it feels like it. Civil War had a better balance, as it alluded to Uncle Ben despite not saying his name. It made sense because Peter wouldn't tell his whole origin to Stark right then and there. So I figured Homecoming would be more explicit on that, but in that film it feels like Uncle Ben might as well have died of cancer or something. No one wanted to see another re-hash of the Uncle Ben story. You don’t keep replaying the Uncle Ben story every time you make a Spiderman movie. SMH was a re-boot, but it was also a continuation of a storyline that had already been told. Twice. Marvel obviously made the right decision ... considering SMHs place in the pantheon of the greatest superhero movies ever made! lol, you clown. And who told you it belongs "in the pantheon of the greatest superhero movies ever made"? Your older brother? Wait, he prolly won't hang out with you. Tom Brady? Wait, he's too busy cheating to even care that you exist. Your mom, maybe? So you'll leave her alone and take your nap? Well, regardless, kiddo: you were lied to! The movie is drivel and will be remembered by about as many people as will remember the fraud and cheater Tom Brady once he slinks into retirement as an abysmal failure and hated rule-breaker. And omitting Uncle Ben and the origin story in what is ostensibly a reboot is just shitty, lazy writing. Good grief.
