I think the point is that every universe isn't supposed to be taken as the same. Injustice, in particular, was portrayed as a universe where such a thing could happen, regardless of what sense it made in relation to other Superman tellings. It had its own internal logic, and, to its credit, it operated on that logic the whole way through, regardless of how non-sensical people may have felt the start was. Like, it's boring if Superman is so OP that such a thing can literally never happen. The entire point of Injustice was to be a "what if" scenario to make an interesting storyline out of an otherwise OP, fairly boring character.
Except it's not interesting at all. It's contrived. Superman's stories shine best in overcoming adversity when it's more than just his power that's being tested. Focusing on Superman simply being strong and writing off so many, if not all of his stories solely because of his powers just broadcasts to everyone you don't know anything about who the character is or what his stories are about. You just see "strong = boring" and that's it.
