Those two are misleading because not only are they too much in your face, they are too connected to Peter and May`s background. They are evident, big part of May`s world, and the inheritors were right there in that universe. No excuse not to use them.
I`m sure they could cook some now, thought, but that would be beside the point within the event.
Maybe, or her Universe may be one of the unmentioned Universes that wasn't wiped out and wasn't a part of Battleworld for whatever reason. Whatever the case, there are outs if a Writer wants to but an MC2 where Peter still lives seems unlikely as of this time for Secret Wars at the very least as it makes sense to use the Mayday, and her Universe, that was in Spiderverse.
Personally I wonder how they'll handle Earth-X as Peter isn't fat in Earth-X anymore, Earth-X series ended on a cliffhanger, and Earth-X Venom (Mayday) should still be under Kang's service/protection.
nah, mayday got a lot of screen time, moreso than most other alternate spideys. wanting the mc2 universe to feature even more is a personal wish and an unfair accusation. strikes me as somewhat ungrateful.
as to whether they could have jettisoned other stories/spotlights in favour of even MORE mc2, sure...but there's always the possibility that the writers (and most writers) who wrote those "filler" stories just aren't interested in mc2. and the question is really...why should they be? for what story reason? i still don't get the "you there- write comic, make me happy" attitude.

Well some were MIA... Still don't know why they had Fat Earth-X Peter Parker since he has long since lost the extra weight. Course he never showed up in-story but he did show up in Spider-Man Unlimited which seems to be where many Spiders not in the series will be appearing.
Personally I'm glad that Spiderverse is continuing in Secret Wars and perhaps beyond as as well as having a much more focused cast.

It looks like that is going to happen. Ron Frenz confirmed Tom D will be again handling Mayday in the SW tie-in for MC2, and that, while he had not read the final issues, he and Tom were informed of what had been done to advance Mayday's character, so he probably will be using the one from Spider-Verse.
Not seeing editorial letting that happen, especially since the Mayday shown or the Spiderverse team is clearly the one t hat was in Spiderverse who had teamed up with Spider-UK and Anya already. Would be completely strange if they randomly picked a Mayday that wasn't in Spiderverse when there's a perfectly fine Mayday that was in Spiderverse and just got promoted to Spider-Woman.
