Why are people acting like this is something new when Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. did it over a decade ago?

The Marvel Television people are communicating with the people making a movie, and people are making a big deal out of it like it's a new thing. Over a decade ago, the writers of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. would get the screenplays for the movies early, and work with the movie team to do the exact same thing Winderbaum's talking about. How else do you think that had perfectly planned and timed tie ins to Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier (especially The Winter Soldier), Avengers: Age Of Ultron, among others. One day, you would watch The Dark World, and a few days later, the team would be cleaning up after them on an episode of the show, and a few weeks later, Sif would show up. Then, you'd watch an episode of AoS, and for some reason something's wrong with S.H.I.E.L.D., and then you would see The Winter Soldier, and then in the next episode of AoS, you would see the ramifications (both in the larger sense of S.H.I.E.L.D. and on an emotional level) of that immediately.
tl;dr: This shouldn't be considered something great, when Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. did it over a decade ago.

This is Disney working with Sony to ensure coherence between project
Marvel ain't passing around scripts anymore like they used to...
Gonna follow up on Clea? Hercules? How's Moon Knight doing? Ms Marvel gonna start that Champion's/ Young Avengers team with Kate any time soon? How's Hulk's son doing? Secret Invasion have... ANY impact? Like all the world changing events?
Actually I think Secret Invasion is the WORST offender. Fury is completely out of character in the Marvels compared to it. You have to do some serious mental gymnastics to make the "Skrulls have no homes" thing in it work with them having a homeworld and then, you know, Asgard giving them one when it's gone. Even though the people of earth are supposed to hate and hunt them now...
I think what people want is a return to the seemingly seamless continuity of old where it felt like things were flowing from one to another (even if there was bedlam behind the scenes). Considering DD and Thunderbolts have massive implications for the denizens of NY, it's nice to see it confirmed there some deliberate connectivity going on there.
After that, all of the Marvel shows deviated completely from the rest of the MCU. Part of it was because the movie schedules were not synced with the show production and the other part was there became a clear distinction between Marvel movies and Marvel TV.
Ike Perlmutter was sidelined to just television before he was finally ousted and had made it his mission to focus solely on Inhumans because Fox had the rights to X-Men (ironically, Ike would have been partly responsible for that sale because he was on the board of directors when the sale occurred).
The reason why it's now an accomplishment is that the movies and shows are properly under the same supervision and can actually have cooperation when they couldn't 10 years ago.
If AoS had still been actively trying to play out alongside the MCU, there are months, even years for which you have to account for event progression even IF the movie schedule had been set in stone, though there was only two, three if we were lucky, movies a year. That said, now that the MCU has decades of movie history with dozens of projects that can be backfilled into that timeline, a long-spanning series made now but set back in the beginning of the MCU have so much to play with.
