Because of his natural abilities? I can cite you more than 3 characters born with OP abilities. Heck, all the TMC magicians are born with OP skills but they are scattered in the regular magic system. His powers are the result of being a Yotsuba of the 2nd lineage specialized to the extreme.
Listing them down, including issues with the universe:
• Tatsuya is born with natural abilities that are more powerful than what a normal mage acquires at birth
• Has weak magic affinity compensated by artificial methods, including advanced technology and bodily surgical procedures
• All known fights were of little risk except for Miyuki's close brush with death. Only one known death in the supporting cast in Tatsuya's side, most wins are against people who hold back against him or mooks who can't really hold a candle against him. Most losses can't even be counted because they are hard counters.
• Politics contributes to less direct approaches in combat, sometimes resulting in unbelievable periods of peace between enemy factions
• Focus on Tatsuya shifts the standard of "decent magic" such that any other mage that isn't Tatsuya seemed underwhelming -> main gripe with having an overpowered MC
• Team fights are still centered on Tatsuya's skills
• Other factions seemed weaker than intended
• Tatsuya's "weaknesses" are not hard weaknesses. Regrowth's pain amplification only gives Tatsuya cold sweat when a normal person can't properly function well under extreme pain, and his prohibition to use secret military spells can be avoided by actually not enrolling him in a high school as a student in the first place.

And the list goes on.
