>Why limit yourself to the physical when you can become a being that can fuck with the spiritual and no maintenance or sustenance?
Because as seen with such properties like Star Wars, 40k, and Stellaris, messing with spiritual/psionic stuff can be unfathomably dangerous, extremely difficult to figure out, and comes with a high chance of either destroying your soul/damming the souls of your entire civilization to oblivion, or accidentally creating a dark messiah-like figure who somehow ends up being way more powerful than everyone else and enslaves or destroys the universe. Or both.

Technology and cybernetics on the other hand, while also extremely dangerous and highly abusable, don't have any of the innate dangers of being manipulated by an outside force or possessing immutable rules & limitations imposed by the locals powers that be.

Cybernetic augmentation theoretically has NO upper limit, especially once you introduce A.I capable of exponentially boosting one's intelligence, and exotic matter & energy sources from across the multiverse that let you break physics.

>if you end up going to DC and becoming a Kryptonian, then all of your metal parts are just weak spots that aren't as tough as the rest of you.
Not really the best example.

>and it ends up being a massive point of vulnerability you get to exploit.
Counterpoint, Darth Vader murdered a fuckton of dudes with his cybernetics after people underestimated him and tried to fight him like he was a normal human. One of those people being Emperor Palpatine himself who got stuck in a cyborg bear-hug.

>star wars just kinda sucks in chain.
To each their own. Personally I'll always take it because I love the idea of conquering the galaxy multiple times over and building my own version of the Eternal Empire.
