Zenos did not always have the Echo since it was a development during Stormblood and yet he was already one of the most powerful characters in the game.
Just because its not told yet don't mean it didn't happen. You don't know what zenos childhood was like, what training he faced or even what challenge he overcome to be here. Neither you did with Ran'jit, we are told he's an experienced warrior period.

You can argue we miss some info about the past of Zenos, but saying he's strong for no reason is wrong.
