Great write-up! Seeing you write for Spider-Man day also inspired me to write a post for tomorrow after being writer's-blocked all week (though I guess by now it will be a belated Spider-Man day).
I like how you mentioned that pre-responsibility Peter feels more like someone who would fight Spider-Man, and how his change towards responsibility also stems from love. I think sometimes adaptations like to generalize that his motives are caused by guilt, but it would be awfully difficult to continue on the way Spider-Man does as selflessly and for as long as Spider-Man does if it was still only caused by "I should have been there" without the second, stronger motivation of empathy and love's "I want to be there."

Thank you! And it's never too late for a Spider-Man post.
