That is true. Unless there's just another difference between his timeline and the current one.
We know their greater power in this time is because they never fought at full strength (and Trunks didn't know that), but maybe this is just one of the minor changes he and Cell caused in the past.

Maybe Gohan fighting them and their casual use of their powers to destroy cities kept them around the level they started at. Really, this is kind of an interesting concept: they literally stole Broly's canon shtick and Broly's fanon shtick and applied both to 17 and 18. So it's less that they have infinite energy reserves, and more that their generators infinitely produce energy, which causes their bodies to adapt to the power and grow stronger over time.

True.
Ok I came up with some ideas that could make sense:
Gero made them weaker but more viscious.
Or
After being absorbed by Cell, something happened to 17 & 18 that made them stronger.
You can justify 18 losing hard to Super Buu as being frightened by his savagery, prioritizing the protection of her own daughter & being defeated by an attack that affects you regardless of power level. Vegito was turned into a candy despite being leagues stronger than Super Gohan Buu.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I mean, wasn't it a thing where Original Timeline!Gero tried doing something to the Androids in an effort to make them easier to control, which led to them not only being weaker than the current timeline's version of them, but also removed most of their humanity in the process, turning them into the mass murderers they ended up becoming?
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!Everything else in the series disagrees with you. You can't just say "I understand the rules better" and expect people to take you seriously.
Edit: He wanted things to end as much as anyone else. If it was within the rules for him to end the match, he would have done so.

So, if Future Gohan had had more than one Senzu Bean, would he have regrown his arm?
One Strip! One Strip!They can bring back the meat...but not the bone....
Haha...
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.

How the muffins do they get stronger because they don't train? Dammit! Super! I'm trying to defend you from Saiga here, but you don't make it fucking easy!
As for Gohan's comment, we have to consider who's saying it, who he's saying it about, and what they will mean to each other.
He's being an idiot because he likes her, and hates seeing her get massacred. Still a dumb thing to say, but I get where he came from somewhat.
