There's another explanation based on an old expression. Having "that fire in your eye" or "a fire in your belly" are pre-internet ways of saying a person is extremely motivated. Characters that achieve their dreams like Genus and Saitama are LITERALLY drawn as having a fire in their eyes. All of the "lesser" heroes have smaller goals, so they're less powerful. Saitama's dream is to be unbeatable, so he "accidentally" has unlimited power.

Every character who takes "shortcuts" (aka "cheats") to gain power will never be as good as someone who came by their skills through hard work and determination. Its all just a way of saying "dream big and work hard."

Its appalling most people don't get that.
