You're missing the point. What I'm saying is, the ties between AoS and the rest of the MCU are structural, the ties between the Netflix shows and the MCU are referential at best.
Undoubtedly a legal issue, but narratively that makes a huge difference. For some reason that seems to escape a lot of the people who keep claiming it's all about the tone.
being able to binge watch the entire season rather than waiting week after week with long pauses sometimes to find out what happened next.
That's just your personal preference, not necessarily what everyone wants. Some shows work better when spread out to once a week (at least the first time) and suffer from binge watching, others the complete opposite. The tight stories on Netflix work best when binging, their original shows are even designed that way.

Still, there's a lot of characters from the movies that turn up in the series, and the series follows the overall story arc of the movies, referencing everything by name and elaborating on a lot of their plot points. That's very structural.
None of this happens on Netflix.

I would prefer AoS to stay right where it is, but if the alternatives are cancellation or being picked up by Netflix, I think the choice is pretty obvious.
