There’s a really good scene in a JLA comic where superman and flash argue about this. Together they could just take away all the weapons, punish all the crimes, stop everyone from doing bad things ever. But the consequences of that are that it would take away the free will of people. Their heroes would become their masters.
Who was arguing which side? I’m guessing it was Superman who argued against taking away people’s free will?
There are also the unintended consequences to the economy and to the natural world. For example, provide food for everyone, and you accidentally bankrupt farmers. Suddenly remove CO2 from the atmosphere and maybe you shock and kill plants, etc.
