And how hard is it to have a passing mention of Inhumans in the Vienna deliberation? You expect things in MCU to work like in the real world ?! To see real interconnections between all the stories, it would need a daily MCU TV News to report all the stuff happening.

Everything is connected; but all movies and shows have their own storylines. Netflix deals with NY underground heroes, it's not the same category than Iron Man or Spider-Man. AoS deals with Hydra, Inhumans... it had references to Hell's Kitchen, references to major movie events; it's already good.

AoS follows Coulson's team, but maybe(probably) Director Mace has others teams (agents who aren't present in the current show), and perhaps some of these agents keep an eye on Daredevil and co. Who knows ??! They can't and don't have to show every S.H.I.E.L.D. activities. It's just a tv show, 22x40 minutes by year. If MCU references aren't necessary for the plot, it's logic we don't see much of them.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is back as an official organisation. Then what ? Why it should interest Fury, Jessica Jones, Stark, Pym or any other hero ? Most of Avengers are now fugitives. Others heroes are probably busy too. It's not the time for a crossover. The few connections we already saw are enough for me.

Inhumans weren't referenced in Civil War: it wasn't the plot. Vienna reunion scene hadn't much screentime, in fact it wasn't really about Accords signature. The prime purpose was to kill T'Chaka and set T'Challa into revenge against Bucky. Vision talked about enhanced people; it was enough. Movies deal with Avengers or "Avengers wannabe" characters; they don't care about what happens in tv shows, cause it's not their plot.

If Movies' runtime were 200 minutes, and TV episodes aired each week, sure it'd have more references and crossovers. But it isn't the strategy Marvel directors chosed.

In CW shows for example, why Oliver Queen don't call his speedster friend Barry for help each week ? Cause each show has it own direction and topic. Crossovers happen each year cause that how this shows' structure and narrative work. Marvel TV shows narrative don't allowed crossover yet. It's how it works right now. But it's still all connected.
