Stan's quote here kind of speaks to a wider issue with comics in general beyond powerscaling.
It's not enough that a good writer writes a good story, said story also has to abide by a bunch of rules and limitations arbitrarily set up over the course of 50+ years by a plethora of different writers.
And if the writer doesn't do that then it's automatically considered bad writing, regardless of the individual story's quality.
In an ideal world comics would operate on Simpsons rules and each writer got to write in their own individual version of the universe with only an initial status quo to go off of and unable to affect the stories of concurrent and future writers, this way the only continuity that matters is the one you yourself establish in the comic you're currently writing.
