You're not wrong.
And full disclosure, I was paraphrasing Dr. Manhattan's monologue from chapter 4 of Watchmen. A kind of tongue-in-cheek homage, if you will
Dr Manhattan needs to take it down a notch. Although I guess he probably can see far off galaxies with the naked eye which would be very ancient light. On the other hand Dr Manhattan exists outside of time, as evidenced by his ability to... Wait, am I remembering this correctly? Was he banging his ex-girlfriend's daughter while getting something out of the fridge in another room at the same time?
Spoilers for a 37 year old comic book
Not just banging his ex-girlfriend's daughter (who was a product of SA btw). Giving her a threesome with two simulacrums while he conducted experiments in a lab down the hall. And then gets confused when she gets mad that he's not giving her 100% of his attention during sex. And then gets a big ol sad when she leaves him for a doughy Batman. And then a bigger sad when he learns he gave all of his old friends cancer (he didn't actually, that was a conspiracy concocted by Adrian Veidt).
So he goes to Mars, because humans are confusing.
Dr Manhattan is essentially a sperg with super powers
