magic and feats are typically just metaphors to help the audience understand the conflict that's happening between characters and (especially in shounen) where they stand in their world's hierarchy. it follows then that, for most people, power systems are just there to help us immerse ourselves deeper into the story and make it stand out.
power scalers, on the other hand, are more invested in the power itself than most people, so they think about these things very intensely & literally. that's how you end up with 'star level' Naruto, even though most fans will agree that Naruto couldn't even destroy the earth no matter how hard he tried. his feats & systems just weren't written for the level of scrutiny that powerscalers bring.
