Hell, the Daily Bugle doesn't even need to exist in this world, does it? Think about it. The only reason they have Spidey pictures is because Peter takes his own pictures. The reason he takes his own pictures is so that he can get some extra cash to support his ailing aunt. May is neither sick nor poor in this iteration, and even if she were then Tony Stark would pay for everything without a second thought.
It doesn't seem like a big deal at first until you realize how fascinating all these Peter/Spidey dynamics are. Peter degrades Spider-Man by selling his own pics to the Bugle - what irony! Flash sneers at Parker but adores Spidey - what irony! May hates Spider-Man but loves Peter with all her heart - what irony!...etc. Lots of interesting character relationships Peter can have that are completely overlooked in this version. The secret identity aspect goes much farther than just "hmm, isn't it interesting that we've never seen Spidey and Peter in the same room?"
