It's pretty much a Spider-Man thing. Spider-Man has a guilt complex to an unhealthy degree, and that's a regular plot point in his stories. He sacrifices himself so much, and some other characters even point out that he could perhaps do more for the world long term if he focused on his scientific career instead of chasing after muggers. But if he doesn't keep chasing after muggers, they're gonna keep shooting uncles, and he can't have that.
Superman has stories about how ultimately he's just some guy and when he pushes himself too hard he becomes less good at what he does, whether it be from losing touch with humanity or missing important things because he's too busy. I mean the real life reason is because fans don't want to remove Clark Kent and all his supporting characters from the stories. Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen and Perry White and all the others are what the stories often revolve around. And the excuse is essentially that Superman needs them or he'd be a wreck. Then there are stories about the future where they've all died and Superman dedicates himself harder to just being Superman and not Clark, but by that point also it's the future and there are more superheroes, including future Supermen (I think the closest we have to canon is that Superboy II, Kon-El, AKA Connor Kent, becomes Superman in the future), so even then, Superman ends up just fucking off into the sun for 83 thousand years, powering up until a really, really big disaster requires his power.
>>Muh Superman is a simple farm boy and thinkin is reeeel hard!
He can think, but taking over the world and micromanaging it in order to stamp out all of human corruption, and doing it in a way that wouldn't just make the earth a worse place than he found it, is the hard part. Plus, you know, he's not evil. There are plenty of stories about Superman doing that, but they suck. In fact, it's canon that the universe of the Injustice video games and their tie-in comics suck so bad that when a super-god-powered version of Brainiac was collecting universes, he saw that shit and decided to throw out his whole collection (except for the one best universe to be decided in a massive tournament). And this is a character who is literally autistic for collecting cities/planets/universes and putting them in bottles.
