I don't know specifically, but I would assume (note the word "assume") that
since the entire Spider-man line is licensed, that the licensing body would have
a say in the design, or the fact that so many licensed figures (Mary Jane, Peter
Parker, Spider-Man, Harry Osborne, Doc Ock, and JJ Jameson) would mandate that
the extra figures (bank robber, ambulance driver, and engineer) would either
look out of place, or they wanted to have a unified theme, as the movie itself
has actors in roles. actor=person=flesh color.
Now, you ask, why aren't the F1 racers pit crew in flesh? I don't know. Maybe
the licensing deal was just for Shumacher and Barichello. I know that's odd,
and doesn't match the above, because I specifically checked that out and noticed
the difference. Then again, different licensing bodies=different agreements. I
don't make the decisions, and I'm not part of the group that licensed the stuff,
so it's all speculation.
I do know for a fact that any Lego specific product (i.e. World City) has yellow
minifigs.
