I'm wary of making a big effortpost for fear of being exploded by E&C with facts and logic, but I think perceived inaccessibility continues to be a huge hurdle for Marvel and DC comics. Whatever the case may be for singles, collected editions and omnibuses of other comic books series do really well when films or television series come out to boost their profile. I remember reading somewhere that The Boys has sold 300k+ omnibuses since the Amazon Prime series launched. Marvel and DC don't seem to get anywhere near that kind of boost from their films, and I think the fact that there is no easy one-to-one connection between the films and their comic source material for fans to find is part of that problem. Marvel loves putting out new omnibuses for characters who are about to get new films or series--see the current glut of She-Hulk and Moon Knight releases. But if you're a casual superhero fan, how are you to know if those omnibuses will provide a story similar enough to what you're getting from the MCU or if you'll even be able to parse it without prior knowledge of the character's comic origin? Those fears tend to be overblown, but they're still there and I don't know how you would go about alleviating them.

That Demon Slayer article is atrocious but it really ended up making the rounds. I had to explain why it was hogwash to a lot of people who don't even read comics or manga.

Using sites like Wikia/Fandom to look up information about comics is a bit of a pain these days. More and more I see them following the lead of Wookiepedia by presenting information from an in-universe perspective and hiding the actual publication info and other out-of-universe information out of plain sight.

A while ago I saw that Si Spurrier's series Coda got translated into French and even received an OHC release, something it never did in English. They have it to good down there in France.
