Most of the sources I read said that Sony kicked in all the production costs on the Spidey films, and Marvel would get 5% of the profits and of course kept merchandising.

Marvel wanted to up their stakes of ownership by paying for 50% of the production costs (which means they get 50% of the profits too). But also Marvel wanted to get producer credits on some other Spidey properties, even if they weren't being used in the MCU (Venom, Mobius, etc.)

So Sony would have gone from 95% of the cake to 50% of it. Even if they would be paying less for it.
