I think we are just interpreting it differently. 

Sony legally holds the Spider-Man movie card.  If my buddy (Disney) asks to borrow his mom's car (Sony's Spider-Man) and she says no I don't plead with my buddy or point the finger at him (I might not be along for the ride if he manages to change her mind) , instead I try to appeal to his mother. If I were him I wouldn't be pointing a finger at either studio since either one might employee me in the future, again though that is if I were him.

It just feels like you're reading too much into it (i.e. influenced by the article's title), perhaps though I'm just not reading enough into it.

I don't know Yoda...I like you and all, but I think at this point we should make arrangements to wrestle in a parking lot.

South side Denny's at 1AM loser buys breakfast.

Edit: for the record I agree that this was a reach by Disney, not really debating that nor Sony turning them down. %50 risk / 50% reward < 100% risk / 100% reward when you're talking about an almost sure thing like a hot franchise.  That said I hope all these Studio's fail in the end to produce the movies in time to keep their lease on these characters and all the movie rights revert back to a Marvel that is in a position to be able to make movies with them.  I think it will just be a long ass time.  It is more likely that the House of Mouse will just have to buy the other studios licenses out if they want to make an MCU with ALL of Marvel's characters in play. Of course who knows I didn't figure I'd live to see Mutants come back into the fold either but here we are.
