Neither in the Prequel nor original trilogy do the M-counts actually matter in the most important bits. In the prequels, Obi-wan defeats Anakin by knowing Anakin intimately as a person and playing against his faults. In the OT, Luke doesn't defeat Vader and the Emperor because he's simply more powerful than them. He defeats them by committing to his training and personal belief and his love for his father.

By comparison, Dynamis is now interlocked with gameplay as well as the narrative, so it's always going to directly impact everything. At scriptwriter's discretion. Especially since almost all of the beings in the current events of the setting do not have the information that it makes up the majority of the energy in the universe as stated by Hermes (who coulda been wrong, because I mean, real world reference aside, how has he observed the entirety of the universe and all its inherent energy?). Omega does, of course, but does Omega have the capacity to directly manipulate it forever and for always? Or is it dependent on his platform? It shouldn't be, he should just be able to roid out his OMG toy body with sheer emotion. It's all malarkey.
