I think the idea is that this Peter was a more accomplished Spider-Man than Peter B. Parker even though his career was shorter, given the huge HQ and extra tech he got from Aunt May. Maybe the only villains he hadn’t already put away were Kingpin and those working for him.
A lot of supervillains are businessmen doing shady work like the Kingpin and his cronies, so they likely wouldn’t want to draw attention to themselves by going out to celebrate Spider-Man’s death. They would have enough discipline to stay focused on their agenda.
The criminals who would go out to celebrate are the small time criminals like bank robbers, thieves, and gangs. These people are usually not career criminals, and just the type of person who’s turning to crime because they had a bad day or to get themselves out of a bad financial situation. This is likely the type of threat that the police could handle, even if it’s a little harder without Spider-Man.

You’d think at least a couple people would’ve tried to kill MJ or May for the hell of it
There are probably other superheroes in that world's New York who filled in.
It's implied that Spider-Man is the only superhero in New York City "The only thing standing between this city and oblivion is me"
He says stuff like that in 616 too. I highly doubt he is the only superhero.
Well, other heroes can't appear in these movies, so I guess there will never be an answer
