As big as the comics were in the 80s (Marvel's best-selling subscription title, etc.), they don't have any cultural cachet anymore aside from MAYBE Silent Interlude. And even then it's something that comics fans know about, but isn't spread wide. Most people these days don't even know that GI Joe WAS a Marvel book, let alone having a passing familiarity with the intricacies of the SE / SS storyline.
If anyone knows GI Joe these days, it's from the cartoon. End of story. And as such SE is pretty much a blank slate that they can do what they want with.
It's a smaller scale version of the Darkseid / Thanos thing.
