These are my opinions and theories that I am backing up with logic and/or tends in comics. If you have your own opinion, feel free to voice it. Also, apologies for the scattered images, it looked much better when I was first creating this blog.
1. The telepath factor:
Marvel comics has many people who can read minds. Even if they are the ones that prefer not to invade privacy, eventually someone will need to look into SpOck's mind and they will find out his secret. There are also some bad guy telepaths that won't hesitate to do it and while SpOck could just kill them right after, he'd have quite a hard time of it. He can't avoid it forever all in the comic here.
Which should have ended much differently.
2. Ock's ego:
Ock is too into himself. He spent his life trying to make himself great. But now that he has all the opportunities he needs, all the credit will go to Peter Parker, not Otto Octavius. Eventually he will not be able to handle this and will slip up. He even almost said his real name after a fight.
He has ego trouble.
And unlike the real Peter, he will seek revenge on those who thwart him or destroy those who stand in his way.
3. The Carlie factor:
She is one of the few who suspects that something is not right about the Superior Spider-man and is actually doing something about it. She's one of the few who was close enough to Peter to know that he wouldn't do this to someone like Vulture.
...And she's finding proof against him.
And even if SpOck finds out what she's doing or that she knows and kills her to keep his secret, someone will find out about that and know for sure that he is not the Spider-man they thought he was.
4. Too many people knew the real Peter Parker.
Though they suspect little at the moment, the people who knew Peter will see that he is way too different from how he was before. Someone will eventually hear about what he did to Black Cat...
...how he's treating the people everyone knows Peter loves...
... or the army he built for himself.
Someone (or maybe even S.H.I.E.L.D) is going to take action against him.
5. He may have the body, but Ock is not Spider-man:
Marvel called Spider-man the world's greatest hero because he nearly always found a way to win while still being the hero that (at the end of the day) everyone liked or at least respected. Ock is not any of those things. He has crossed many lines that the heroes have for a reason in order to win. He doesn't believe in the same morals that Peter did. And he's kind of an egotistical jerk that no one likes (comic character-wise). Peter Parker and Spider-man are basically the same person, so Ock cannot be Spider-man if he's not Peter Parker.
6. The real Peter is not gone yet.
Ock went into the mind of Peter Parker and battled with the real one to destroy Parker's memories that were preventing him from being the "Superior" Spider-man. To the horror of many, Ock succeeded.
...Or did he? It may interest you to know that (according to the three in one stepford cuckoos anyway) that the brain never truly forgets anything, it's just the connections to the memories that fail. It seems more likely that Ock just destroyed those connections or otherwise he'd have likely given himself brain damage. But if this semi-plausible theory isn't good enough for you, looking in hope at the last panel of the image.
He's back, baby.
