That's funny, because I look at it in the opposite way: it makes me feel like a super-fallible human because it's so easy for me to break things in horrible ways, something a hypothetical god would not do.
Something like Rust &str or String would make me feel more like a god, as I can do whatever I want (more or less) without worrying about safety.
A hypothetical god would not destroy the world, but absolutely could.
I think that's the idea - they're not reveling in the fact that they can do anything anybody could reasonably want to do, they're reveling in the fact that they can also do everything else, too.
