[Raimi Spiderman Movies] Does anyone in universe ever wonder why Spiderman villains target MJ so much?

In first movie Spiderman publicly saves MJ twice and in third movie MJ is the only hostage to lure out Spiderman. I think also Doc Ock publicly kidnaps MJ in the café.

Well Doc Ock specifically kidnaps MJ in Spider-Man 2 because he knows Peter takes Spider-Man's photos, and personally provokes Peter in the hopes that it'll lure out Spidey given that Otto is unaware of the whole secret identity thing.

With all of this in mind, the general public probably just assumes (if they don't write it off as a coincidence, anyway) that the villains know about Peter's connection to Spider-Man so they target MJ because Peter will go to the webhead for help, or that they use MJ as a hostage because she must have some kind of connection to Spider-Man herself seeing how he's saved her so many times.
