The thing is they DO those stories, like constantly. The problem is not with superheroes are a concept or the characters, it is the nature of comics as an industry. Any story that reaches an end, or anything that would change the profitable status quo has to be temporary. Be it political or just experimenting story-wise.
My friend who does great philosophy videos btw, talks about this a lot like in this video on why batman doesn't kill. It is not about the morality, but the sales figures. Above everything things cannot change because the market demands it. So you will have stories that actually do go to the logical conclusion, but they can't be allowed to last
