That's extremely strange to me. Think back and name one fight where brute force was the deciding factor, or where someone won purely because their quirk alone was strong.
Every time the main cast has lost, it's been due to a lack of understanding or experience on their own behalf. Some of them have insanely powerful quirks, but they tend not to do much of anything without practice or learning applied to their function..
Bakugo is the most obvious and consistent example of this - his explosive quirk is powerful, but it's not what makes him strong. It's his application of it and his development of his own skills to benefit himself and his quirk. He's learned and figured out how to make it work at close range, he's realised he can propel himself with it, rather than just blow things up and he's constantly learning new functions for it.
