1938 was his first appearance. It has fluctuated depending on the writer to make plots easier. It's hard to write plots for a person who is invincible, but he basically is. Goku has limitations, a fully realized Superman who is able to let loose, he's basically God. I feel like a lot of people are fighting from nostalgia about Goku and little knowledge of Superman here.
Like they say in the video, his plots were often not about reaching a new power level, because he already had it all inside. It was more about dealing with being an immigrant in a new world, one that to him was seemingly made of cardboard. Identity, stuff like that.
And because he's been around so long in a medium that goes on forever like comics, his comics often times reflect the mood of the times. He's been around a long time, some variation is expected. But his strength has been dumbed down in cartoons a lot to accomodate his Justice League buddies.
