My guess would be that Oscorp already existed, obviously, and competed with Stark Industries and Hammer Industries for years. But where as they focused on mechanical advances, Oscorp dealt mostly in the biological. This would allow for the inclusion of Scorpion, Rhino, Lizard, and many other Spidey villains while saving time explaining how they came to be. Mostly by just saying Oscorp did it. I also had a theory that they could say that the Super Soldier Serum used on Blonsky came from Oscorp. Think about it, the serum caused mental instability and physical mutations. Prototype Goblin Serum perhaps? It also wouldn't surprise me if Norman Osborn had connections to Hydra.
