I never saw Steven as a sidekick. I've never seen SU as a the-lead-character-is-totally-op-and-plot-convinience-is-an-all-time-high type of show. At first glance you'd think that the Gems have been babying Steven and that may be true, but Steven has had a larger influence on the Gems than they have with him. Steven shines not when it comes to battle, but shines on those little moments that could potentially be a life changer for others.

If you're looking for a show that has a lead character that's totally about decimating others on the battlefield through rigorous training or some magical item/bloodline/etc gives him the power to do it. Then Steven Universe may not be the show for you.

We love Steven not because he takes the lead on things and does something major that could help the world but he does these little things as a "sidekick" that helps every person/Gem and potentially change fate.
