The Hulk in Harlem was referenced plus likely the incident in the incredible hulk are referenced since it happened in that city whereas winter soldier and Avengers 2 happened but didn't directly effect the characters. the same with events from the Iron Man movies. that isn't something unexpected since i know quite a few people who don't really talk about what is going on outside their own state or even sometimes own county. They might know about it if it comes up sometimes not but i don't ever hear them bringing it up on their own.
so far the most widely traveled of them is Luke Cage although that probably will change with Iron Fist returnig from overseas and K'unn l'unn it might even alter a bit with Spider-man which would be a local movie to the characters in netflix.
that plus the most important thing being able to binge watch the entire season rather than waiting week after week with long pauses sometimes to find out what happened next. granted you could get the dvd when it comes out and binge watch but you have a much greater chance of being spoiled than you do if you just watch it all at once when it comes out on netflix. -

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.
