See, Johnny Storm was sixteen when the F4 got their powers, and since we all know Peter was fifteen when he got his, that makes him fairly solidly anchored to being one year younger than Johnny. Which means that if more than fifteen years are allowed to pass for the F4 - and we've almost hit that bungee-cord limit already, with thirteen and a half years gone and Franklin around ten - Peter Parker will be zomg-no thirty. (Cue mass fainting of Marvel execs at the very thought.)
They've cunningly escape-claused Johnny's thirtieth birthday by making him temporarily dead, but ain't nobody in this universe aging more than one more year until there's a similar plot device to reset the clock on Peter. Because allowing Peter Parker to become a mature adult who can change and grow? Unpossible!
