I think you misunderstand the characterization of Saitama's power. Removing his limiter didn't give him unlimited power right then and there. That would mean he has infinite energy and that would just mean the end of the universe. What it really mean was that it just gave him the ability to reach unfathomable strength if he needed it to overcome some kind of obstacle. So Saitama removing his limiter only means one thing: that he has no upper limit to his strength or efforts. But there's also no reason for him to not have access to lower exertions. He can exert as much strength as he needs to brush his teeth or as much as he needs pushing a vault door until it opens. I like to think of it like a bar in a video game or a meter that starts from 0 and goes up to ERROR, CANNOT PROCESS. When he punches casually, maybe he puts the "meter" at 100. When he's serious, maybe he picks a randomly large number. He can clearly calculate what he needs to exert because he made it back from the moon to the ship while he could have accidentally gone through the whole planet if he put too much into it.

I think I understand your argument is that Saitama cannot possible have unlimited strength. My counter is that Saitama has the potential to USE unlimited power but has never had the opportunity to do so (and will never have such an opportunity) since no one can physically push him to that level. The Big Bang as a singularity didn't have infinite energy, so Saitama wouldn't even need infinite power to eliminate the universe, let alone fight an opponent. As far as we can tell, he's infinitely durable and can never be outmatched in power by anything since all he would need to do is try harder or be more serious.

Anything more than that is just conjecture from fans trying to understand something that's too simple to feel true, but it is. He's just as strong as he needs to be, and that's that lol
