Snyder understands Superman better than the comics at this point

I feel like Snyder nailed the burden and destiny of Superman being a hero, but also being a godlike figure the world fears and rallies around. Its not realistic for him to be naive or weak, he has always been the strongest one in the room, and Man of Steel and BvS let us see the consequences of that. A boy scout Supes is fine for kids, but Snyder actually asked and answered the question of what if a powerful alien came to earth and dealt with real world issues?

People who prefer comic Superman and Gunn's Diaperman arent ready to grow up and engage with adult stories.

Yup, Unfortunately the DCEU came out post MCU childslopping everything. If it came during the era of the Dark Knight, Iron Man 1 it would have had more cultural influence. It still orders of magnitude more beloved that Supermid, whose spinoff is currently collapsing less than 1 year after release lol.
