Superman literally had the most powerful story in creation. That's why it could only be him.
That's the scan I was looking for 👆
It comes down to the chicken or egg question:
Did the Primal Monitor create the Presence, who created the DCU, or did the Presence create the Primal Monitor as part of his plan for creating the DCU?
If I had to guess, I'd say the Primal Monitor is the sentient void the DCU is contained in.. Which would really make it >>>>> even the Presence..

...So that was a good guess. 😉
But in a more 'direct' sense, I think the PM was meant to represent the canvas/medium through which real world comic writers are able to illustrate their thoughts--essentially, it is the blank pages of actual comic books. Perhaps that's why Mandrakk was obliterated so completely (to the point that the very idea of his story was lost) when he fell into the Overvoid--the mind of Monitor:
