Probably because he has shown better feats of strength (crushing someone’s head and smashing the metal fence of a car > breaking through a wooden floor) along with better regeneration and durability. (surviving a gunshot to the neck and a house burning down > surviving a beating with a metal weapon.)
I feel like the 2007 reboot Michael Myers would be better for this idea because the 2018 movie was a reboot/sequel while the 2007 Michael and 2009 Jason were reboots of their series.
