It is what is, you can't have everyone helping everyone else every time otherwise each movie/comic just becomes The Big Clusterf*ck and that's not the point of such things, you can't explore individual dramatis personae if each story is a perpetual home to 101 characters.

That's in no way an actual logical real world explanation, which some didactic minds clearly crave (though never discount subsequent MCU projects filling in some of these gaps) but in the main you just gotta go with it. The movie wouldn't have made $1.8 billion dollars at the worldwide box office if people actually gave a crap about such things, indeed the MCU would never have got this far in the first place.
Yeah it’s just one of those things you got to roll with if you’re ever going to enjoy these movies. I always figure that heroes can’t be everywhere at once, so they trust each other to handle local problems on their own until they call for backup. Besides, a lot of those questions have answers. Thor is in space, Bruce still has a messed up arm, Black Panther is on another continent, Ant Man is on the west coast, Pepper is raising a kid.
