That's a particular problem with a lot of the sidestories, where Amuro cannot be anything other than this super-powerful Gundam pilot, to the extent they've retconned the Dijeh on model kits and manga.
>NOOOO AMURO CANNOT PILOT A MONOEYE!!!! GUNDAMS ONLY!!!
(this is from Pulitzer; dialogue is about Amuro actually being an elite test pilot during his supposed house arrest days)

Fukui's take is especially noxious thanks to his penchant to treat Newtype events as straight-up superpowers.
And yes, I did read that essay of his. I do like his concept of Kamille becoming a soulless shell after his battle with Scirocco, but the whole crap with Banagher is not very good.
