Not true. The invasion of New York from Avengers 1 was featured in a headline newspaper ad in DareDevil:
And Foggy Nelson namedrops Captain America at one point in the show:
And various other references. They keep it "obscure" enough by not having the movies reference the Netflix shows, but come on, that's pretty clear, indisputable evidence right there it's all connected.
And like others have said, yes, I would not because I "need" to see guts, gore, F-bombs, etc. to be entertained (which is kinda overstated in the context of R-rated/adult content because The Conjuring didn't have ANY nudity, gore or F-bombs and it was R), but because having exclusively family-friendly Marvel content would feel homogenized. I dread them cancelling the Ghost Rider Hulu series because Ghost Rider is a property that has sick, untapped potential with an adult TV series that we'll sadly never get to see now and the character definitely lends itself to more adult storytelling.
Luckily, latest reports are saying Deadpool 3 will, in fact, be R-rated under the 20th Century Studios banner, so there's that, I guess.
MCU never referenced the Netflix material...ever...
