Didn't Marvel do some sort of cosmic event that reset various storylines that had come a cropper for them, including of the oft-revealed identity of Matt Murdock?
Looking about on the internet, it seems that when Marvel went with their "All-New, All-Different Marvel" campaign in 2015, they restarted the Marvel Universe by combining it with the Ultimate Universe, in a manner similar to the way DC blended all of its parallel worlds into a single Earth at the end of Crisis. This resulted in a different shared history for both worlds and somewhere in all of that, the many storylines in which Daredevil's identity were revealed never took place. Karen Page never sold him out; The FBI never leaked his name to the press; he never called himself to the stand and outed himself to undo the leverage the Sons of the Serpent had over him... None of it apparently took place.
When Daredevil vol. 5 started up, the previous stories from vol. 4 were essentially null and void in this bold "All-New, All-Different" Post-Secret Wars V.2 world... Somehow that must have resulted in Spidey never having found out back in 1966 either. Somehow.
Wow. I do not ever want to hear a Marvelite gripe about reboot-happy DC again. :-)
