Well Lex's whole thing is ego. He feels Superman is his ultimate enemy cause he simply is better than Lex. Which is why Smallville's Clark said "Can't say i've missed these chats" cause he's had the same dynamic with Michael Rosenbaum's Lex season after season.

As for why they deny the scene's canonicity for Smallville, it's easy. It's all ego. The wiki wants Smallville to be the center of attention and therefore anything that goes against Clark being king of the universe is wrong. Even though really, the series unintentionally was more about Clark avoiding his destiny and thus never felt like he even wanted to be Superman.
