25% of the country's population is comprised of children. Children lack impulse control (not to mention, something to do) and rarely appreciate the value of things. Despite not having incomes, many kids have considerable access to wealth in the form of their parents via the all powerful "nag factor" (I actually believe that is the nomenclature used in marketing parlance: "nag factor"). Hooking kids on Spiderman not only secures future dollars, but it gives Disney a mainline to the wallets of millions of parents. This is a marketing strategy that Radio Disney (and Disney as a whole) has employed for decades, long before acquiring Marvel. Corp marketing aimed at children is relentless, ask any parent how many things their kids request/demand based on some silly little toy ad or jingle. Given Disney's track record and the state of child-marketing, I'd be surprised if we ever saw an adult Peter on-screen...maybe if Kang/Immortus (for which, we desperately need modern figs!...or a fig, at all, in the case of Immortus AKA grown-up Kang) shows up in a flick, otherwise, I doubt it.

...one last thing, we adults that participate in this hobby are all examples of how successful marketing to children can be. Some of us have been collecting, in some way, since childhood...some of us have collected toys for 30 or 40 years. As much as I want an adult Peter in film, were I Disney, and considering the track record of success for this business model, I'd be constantly rebooting Spidey also.
