The first movie series with Toby McGuire had the webs as biologically produced (aka super-power). The comics always had them as spinners that he'd strap onto his wrists and that would occasionally run dry, adding plot complications.
Like the story said, the movies didn't want to get into the development of them, so took the simpler explanation of "he's part spider, duh!" I did however, like the scene where the camera zoomed in on the barbs on his palms that let him grasp buildings, etc.

The Amazing films, for all their faults, did a pretty good job of justifying his mechano-chemical web shooters (he stole super-webbing from genetically engineered, farmed spiders at Oscorp).
