What was Eva's biggest innovation? Was it the last 2 episodes? The hyper commercialization? Anno's directorial style?

Commercialization was Star Wars tier.

In the end it was none of these things. If you really look into what made Eva special, you won't find anything particular.
Eva was special, because it was Eva. It's a black hole.

It was building on what came before it and having a dialogue with the mecha series that came before it so it's less innovation and more natural progression. This is kind of lost on people whose only exposure to mecha is Eva or a series that came after it and I hope this post doesn't come across as disparaging to them or Eva because I do like NGE quite a bit.

It was the right story at the right time, with the right director at the right time in his life, the right animation team at their peak, the right amount of internal friction, the right message aimed at the right audience in the right timeslot, and the right moichendising.
