1. The VCS made it very clear that Kabuto was only in his base form for most of the proceedings, he only went Carnage mode when facing off against Darkshine.

2. Unsubstantiated. The two were fighting in an arena filled with rain, DSK would still have enough water to remain fully hydrated.

3. Not only is this completely baseless, but going by this line of reasoning, we could easily suggest that the miniscule amount of power Genos registered from his brief fight with a casual Kabuto is the only piece of data he actually has on him, and so his actual power level is vastly above this, to the point where the actual version of baseline Kabuto would casually one shot the VCS version of even Carnage mode Kabuto. Since Genos was able to register DSK's full power, this would just widen the gap even further.

No, the most quantifiable explanation is that Saitama's power is simply to busted to be properly registered, which obviously isn't applicable to Kabuto since he actually has a quantifiable limit. No matter which way you slice it however, Genos still took out a hydrated DSK in two consecutive attacks and then got two shotted by a casual Kabuto. Despite being in Carnage mode, Kabuto still held his own against Darkshine for about 15 minutes, one of the beefiest motherfuckers on the S-Class who would casually one shot DSK with a light touch.
