Again, you're attributing things from 2 companies to the entire industry. The problem doesn't seem to be Marvel and DC doing all those things, the problem seems to be people are unaware of anything but Marvel and DC. It's like saying every manga out there is a shonen isekai because that's what brings in the big bucks right now.
You're bringing up legit issues with Marvel/DC though. Also Flashpoint Paradox isn't a comic, that's the title of the animated movie. The comic itself was just called Flashpoint.

The problem I find is that there is just a barrier for entry. There is a lot of material. People may look at One Piece and say "that's too many chapters". Not realizing that Batman by itself has over 700 issues, and that's just the base story. Brave and the bold is another 200 issues. Comic writers are having to go back and create bundles just to get a starting point for new readers.

I mean, if your a comic fan, its a good time to be a fan. As long as you know where to start. For me though, manga will always have an easier entry point, as its nearly always Issue 001.
