Try "Steins;Gate: Boukan no Rebellion" for something like that, but I'd suggest "Steins;Gate: Onshuu no Brownian Motion."
If you couldn't care less, oh well. Just a suggestion.
Whether you subjectively like it or not is one thing (to which i get) but your main critique is objectively wrong, and considering you seem to care about the essence of things... like i said, i would re-assess.
For instance, you say that Mob Psycho is almost exactly like One Punch... that couldn't be farther from the truth. One Punch cares about the relationship between power and meaning (whether it can fully deliver on that subject idk) whereas Mob Psycho cares about power for an entirely different reason, i'm sure you've heard of "the sublime" in philosophy, this would be a good starting point. Or another avenue you could look at: what does ???% Mob represent? Something else to think about about: what is the plight of boyhood, especially a non-normative one?
But as a taste, my case stands firmly by the fact of how season 3 ends. No generic shonen would end like that because while being very much for boys, Mob Psycho is decidedly anti-shonen. In short, while the ingredients of Mob Psycho are familiar (which is the whole point), the end to which they go is something novel.
Therefore i would invert half of your conclusion and throw the other half out (sorry), it's masquerading as entertainment and it is unequivocally something else.
