Well it seems then that Thanos should also have such speed,... but as far as I know, he actually doesn't... many times many aren't written properly, don't use their powers within their abilities.

No, because he doesn't have other abilities to hurt them, while Superman might have something to hurt Thanos.
The point is that no matter how powerful is Magneto (X-Men movies), Quicksilver could easily take him out or even Xavier if he takes the first move.
So I understand what h1a8 tries to say. If they write Superman completely within his abilities, then Superman can go in such speed and reflexes that Thanos would be frozen and Superman could do anything to him. It's not really hard to understand.
And Thanos has never shown such speed on level of Silver Surfer or Superman.
Is Superman with full power able to hurt Thanos or do some big damage? From what I have seen, I don't think so.
So Superman can try his best and if he can't hurt Thanos, he can go away. And Thanos cannot beat him, if Superman choses to leave.
