I don't find Miles to be boring TBH. I personally think he has an interesting story, is quite likable, and I think a lot of people can relate to the problems he has (outside of being Spider-Man), a lot like why Peter Parker is so popular.
The real dilemma is that we live in a more and more diverse society now (heard on NPR that about 40% of millenials are minorities, a larger percentage than any other generation before us), and the media is a way to reflect the way we live, because even though we like to say that Hollywood is not realistic (and it really isn't) we do want to find validity in the films/tv shows we watch on some levels. By choosing Miles to be MCU's new Spider-Man it would have included more young people to feel like they are included in the world than just always having to put up with the fact that we can imagine ourselves as Peter Parker, except we, the minorities who are superhero fans, still have to see a Caucasian man play the superhero.

I mean, I wouldn't say that I hate or dislike Tom Holland being the new Spider-Man or that we have another Peter Parker in the cinematic universe in less than 15 years, but I was very eager to see Miles Morales in the cinematic universe so it all became a little disappointing. That's how it is for me, anyway.

That's a perfectly reasonable position to take and I pretty much agree. The part that's frustrating is the part where that turns into vitriol against the character and or his fans.
