[Superman] Why don't evil Kryptonians constantly sundip?

So, it's known that superman can massively boost his power by sun-dipping, as can presumably other kryptonians. Now, Supeman and Supergirl and Superboy and all those guys aren't hugely invested in massive power- they tend to hold back and limit themselves to avoid hurting others, so it makes sense they're not doing this when they don't have to.

General Zod, on the other, absolutely *is* invested in massive power, has no interest in holding back for the sake of others, and can pretty easily fly to the sun and back. So what's *his* excuse?

Were I one of the many evil kryptonians who wanted to beat up superman, my first thought would be "gonna spend a few hours in the sun before this one". It's not like I give a shit if I accidentally kill anyone. So why is this not the bad guy's go to plan?

Zod isn't usually active as a Superman villain. He's either still in the phantom zone, or off in space somewhere doing his own thing (fairly recently he was just raising his son with his wife).

So basically when he does want to fight Superman, he's too "new" to the yellow sun to really figure that out, or take advantage of it. While later on he often doesn't need to, being a superior combatant through his martial experience and willingness to kill.
