Superman is a character who has struggled for relevance because of his lack of vulnerability at times. He is also intentionally designed to be amazingly exceptional because of magical powers.
Batman, again, is a wealthy man who dedicated his life to training himself.
Rey is playing the role of the young hero from obscurity, but she knows everything and achieves everything. Part of this is lazy writing because the audience already knows so much, why bother having the protagonist have to learn it too? They also want to compensate for a lack of capable women in past Star Wars stuff so they go out of their way to make her beyond capable.
It's not 'too early' to address anything. The film is out. Writing some other detail two years from now doesn't change what this film is.
