Agreed. Raimi did what he felt was better for the drama and the characters, the Symbiote and Sandman had never been done justice, heck the original Alien Costume storyline is all but obscure barring it's larger known use in the animated series, here, it was made the forefront of the film. Venom took years to come into the comics, where as the Symbiote did'nt.
By paying more attention to that, Raimi and Sargent must have really backtracked to the Secret Wars. That's why whenever Sam says he has "respect for the character" now, there's no doubt he means the original symbiote storyline, and the Eddie Brock/Venom he and his writers created to serve as the Symbiote trying to gain revenge.
One thing I kind of figured out is that the more critical audiences did'nt want to see Spider-Man, the New York loved, well appreciated, fun everyday superhero who overcomes personal odds within the movie...go through the film with less upbeat moments, even at the conclusion
When a franchise, medium-wise, known (rather ignorantly) for it's fun and adventure in the face of adversity starts to have less of that and focus on the long-term problems the character is known to sometimes have, it leaves a very different taste, and I don't think audiences that have been so against this are ready for that
