To a majority of people Peter Parker is the real Spider-man just like Clark Kent is Superman and Bruce Wane is Batman. While it is SOP to shake things up with who a super hero is in the comic books, characters that have become well established outside of comic books through other media exist in the public mind as the most common variation of that character. Through the various movies, cartoons and video games the average person associates Peter Parker as Spider-man, and may not know or care about Miles Morales as Spider-man, just like they may not know or are about Dick Grayson being Batman.

I once saw an older woman come into a local super market a few years ago and ask a fellow employee where the AOL CDs were. before the greeter could send the woman on a pointless trek to the opposite side of the store, I told the woman that we didn't have any and that I haven't seen an AOL CD in years, and that she should contact her phone company for internet access. The customer then asked if I knew of any other stores that might have AOL CDs.
