>There's elements of that secret identity schtick that work for superheros but doesn't really make sense for He-Man. If villains found out that Superman, or Spider-Man were Clark Kent/Peter Parker, then they would go after their friends and family, so a secret identity makes sense to keep their loved ones safe, but everyone He-Man is close to is highly skilled warrior capable of holding their own without issue (story requirements notwithstanding), or they're royalty with Randor and Marlena, who are already targets due to their titles.

And yes, making He-Man a superhero with all the tropes didn't really work.
Superman had Lois Lane to protect from Action Comics #1. She doesn't respect Clark Kent, and he can't fix his love life by telling her because she'd be a constant target as a normal woman. Almost every Silver Age DC and Marvel superheroes found this romantic soap opera subplot useful to copy.
With He-Man, his father and Teela having no respect for his secret identity just looks like the Sorceress swore him to secrecy to psychologically abuse him, because they're already the first obstacle in Skeletor's path and an elite warrior picked to guard him. Just let the poor man be an unarmored D&D Paladin with his Holy Avenger sword.
