The full context of the situations are completely different other than they'd have to sacrifice a loved one.

But isn't that the bottom line of this conundrum?

Don't diminish May to old mentor. She was his last family member. The only family he had left. She was more than, "an old mentor".

Your point here minimizes who May was to Peter.

Old mentor doesn't convey the relationship they had. Raas al ghul is Batman's old mentor. Do they have the same relationship?

While not wrong, old mentor doesn't properly contextualize their relationship. It's better to classify them as family. And Spider-Man's only remaining family.

Only in the bare minimum, the other details and context are still important when looking at the characters' decisions.

Could you elaborate on those differences?

I don't see what details or context would differentiate these two scenarios. If anything, I only see how much harder it would have been for Spider-Man, and how selfish Mark is.

One is being offered the opportunity to go back in time and change events that already happened and will result in his daughter being erased.

The other had to choose between curing millions of a virus that is currently affecting people and spreading or curing just one at the cost of everyone else.
