"And Miles had a tragedy (losing an uncle) which is obviously way more important to the Spiderman mythos than losing a police captain."

I think that is the key. Our Peter Parker lost Uncle Ben, Miles lost his uncle, and Gwen lost her boyfriend. I suspect that losing someone important in a way that is tied in some fashion to the would-be Spider-Person's actions is what matters, not that it be a particular person, and Miguel is not seeing that.

I guess in fairness they're saying by calling it ASM 90 thar it's a canonical formational death to 616 Peter and everyone of the variants of Peter has to go through canonical moments.

Here's one. Peter loses an uncle, so did Miles, I suppose a police captain which Miles has to, he also loses his Gwen so will Miles have to lose Gwen top? Even by Miguel's own logic Miles isn't a true Spiderman so why does the universe hinge on him.
