Actually I thought of one difference - Scarlett Johannsen is a huge movie star, where Chris Evans is a nobody except when he's in a Marvel movie.

explain why it wouldn't work.

The same exact way Winter Soldier did. There's no difference between her and captain america. Instead of him being the one who Nick Fury baptises with the flash drive, make it Scarlett Johannsen, and instead of Bucky Barnes make it some other villain.

I don't want to speak for him, but what I think he meant about Winter Soldier was that Winter Soldier was not in any way a superhero movie.

Why does her being Black Widow in any way complicate the task of writing a good spy movie?

You'd like to think so, but there are a lot of belligerent assholes trying to force time to go backwards.
