I have a probably incorrect theory but boy would it make sense, and it's this:
Infinity Wars, being the culmination of everything and with Marvel Studios knowing it can only keep the actors playing the legacy heroes around for so long, ends with literally that universe collapsing as has happened in the comics and a few select heroes suddenly finding themselves on an alternate earth. Spider-Man, the Guardians and a few others are suddenly forced to deal with a world that potentially has a different Iron Man, Cap, etc. operating on it but is similar enough... cue Phase Four being suddenly a whole new ballgame but still with some characters fans love present.
That alternate Earth they end up on? It's the one the Netflix Defenders bave resided in all along. Hence phrases like "the green guy" and "the flag waver" and "The Incident" and the lack of specificity towards the movie universe.
Again, unlikely. But Mark Ruffallo did recently state that "Everybody dies" in Infinity Wars in an interview, which seemed hyperbolic until the cast member with him went white and warned him about his NDA and to shut up.
It also explains Feige's continual shiftiness whenever he is asked the question of the Netflix heroes in particular appearing in the current MCU.
The MCU is building to a climax that the Netflix shows obviously aren't, so...
