Forces writers to get creative, and easer to try new things. Because there less know characters they have a greater freedom to be experimenter with and are easer to get more unconventional storylines approved. Ex having Sam as cap forces the creative team to take risk and be creative. It sucks to admit but the classics are for lack of a better term restricted to how much you can expermant with compared to the lesser know ones. The changes are neccessary to try new things, balme how marvel developed there character, if they dont want to to change the classical, they have to sub them out to tell the storys that they want. Basically this is neccery because marvel dosent want classical changed too much or to have dramatic development. Either be ok with writers giving wider changes to the classic character or let new ones take over for a bit to see new thing and at worst give new characters a boost in popularity.
