Honestly, both your theories are a lot less impressive than the one given in the original webcomic, no offense. In the original webcomic, one of the S-class heroes tries to hunt down the House of Evolution, only to find out they had already been beaten by someone. While talking, the leader of the former House of Evolution explains that everyone has an inborn limit, and that heroes also have a limit that they reach through training. Others change their limits by becoming Cyborgs, but they still have a limit, just a new higher one.

However, Saitama was a completely average person with a completely average life, and a completely average limit. However, with sheer force of will, he broke through that limit on his own, meaning he has no limit anymore. Others who tried to do this usually became monsters, because that limit was supposed to be a protection. By going past it, the bodies only way to survive is by mutating into a new form with a higher limit, thus explaining a lot of the monsters. But for some reason, Saitama was able to break his limit without becoming a monster, thus becoming the one and only truly limitless being.


 * HEAVY SPOILER AHEAD*

For instance, it's heavily hinted at that Garou is also a being that broke through his limits. However, everytime he broke through, a new limit would be made, and only by being beaten would he be able to break through it. And even though his appearance started to change, he didn't seem to become a true monster, as Saitama still refused to kill him. This also could be because Garou never actually killed any human, even during his entire Hero Hunt, but it could also be because despite changing, he kept his humanity underneath a monster form. While Garou never could break a limit high enough to beat Saitama, he's also the only one since Boros that made him fight serious, even for a second. And he actually made him fight seriously for quite a while, even if Saitama was still trying not to kill him.


 * END OF SPOILERS*

I kind of lost my train of thought here, but basically, what Saitama did was far more impressive than being given power or unlocking his hidden potential through training. Because essentially what he did was surpass the will of God himself to completely eleminate his limit.
