They're making choices that are going to lock them into a limited range of options, and they won't consider where they could have opened up the universe to more possibilities of character development.
eg.
Natasha makes a connection with T'Challa, in addition to the connections she already has with Tony, Clint, Steve, and Sam. So now she's the natural go-to addition for the Black Panther in addition to everyone else, and the possible Russian link back to Bucky.
Rather than introduce Miles Morales as Spiderman, they introduced a very white Peter Parker.
They brought in more white guys to balance it out, with the exception of T'Challa, rather than bringing in women, non-white and otherwise.
I remember this from Stargate Atlantis, Season 5. Storylines that could have gone to more interesting characters went to the white males, and became a self-involved circle because there was nothing new - neither emotional investment, nor suspense, nor crisis. And then when they wanted to build on 'past character development', they went back to the white males because "they already had a history in this area".
