[MCU] Why is it that people who get powers from the Infinity Stones seem more powerful than people wielding said stones?

Are the stones just a super catalyst or something along those lines?

Because it’s extremely difficult to wield the stones, unless you’re already a godlike being. People empowered by them only have a fraction of the power, which makes it easier to control, and are usually empowered with an ability that is inherently focussed and manageable.

Imagine it like this: The person who’s been empowered has been given a loaded super-soaker, while the person with the stone has a gigantic bucket of water, filled to the brim and so heavy they can barely lift it.

The person with the super-soaker has a fraction of the water in the bucket, but in a water fight they can splash anyone they want safely, from 20 feet out, while the person with the bucket is probably just going to spill it all over himself and anyone unfortunate enough to be standing nearby.
