I don't think Steven is like White at all honestly. He basically did the opposite of her, turned all his issues inward and obsessed over not holding people back and being a burden, and he viewed himself as the one who had to live up to impossible standards rather than anyone else. The only time he was controlling in any way was during Guidance and maybe a little bit at the start of Little Grad. White on the other hand turn all her insecurities outwards and oppressed others for not conforming.

steven wanting to override the agency of others “for their sake” / because he’s a “good guy” who wants to help is not exclusive to guidance at all. it’s a recurring thread throughout the entire series, guidance is just a good example of when it was explicitly called out. this is, for example, embodied in how he becomes more “selfless” in the sense of trying to help others be what he thinks they should be like while ignoring or suppressing his own emotions and issues, while very often trying to “fix” others and believing he knows what’s right for them better than they do, however implicit or explicit that is stated. 

white is further along in that process, sure. she has lost her sense of self to a more serious degree in search of living solely for purpose, and as the default everyone should strive towards - she lived for a long time in the denial mode that steven embodied in “everything’s fine”, and that kind of thinking essentially boils down to; “i’m the hero, i don’t have to think about my own feelings or faults as long as i can justify myself as being selfless and trying to help others - besides, they still need me, and as long as they do, i still need myself to be this way.”

like... here’s just some of the episodes that in some form or another talk about how steven and “the agency & choices of others” is a complicated thing. oftentimes, you have some form - or WANT to have some form - of power over others in order to help them be better. this, embodied by both steven and white, is when you genuinely think you know best and others aren’t making the “right” choices for themselves: full disclosure, sworn to the sword, chille tid, sadie’s song, message received, mr greg, the new lars, earthlings, the good lars (lars episodes in general holy moly), gem harvest, i am my mom, raising the barn, little homeschool, guidance, bluebird, little graduation, prickly pair, together forever, fragments, homeworld bound, everything’s fine. 

you’re mistaking the exact specifics of what they do with their core motivations for their core motivations themselves. white and steven both embody a sense of toxic selflessness that you may have an easier time recognizing in, say, pearl. but steven absolutely could have turned out like white, there’s nothing making him biologically or magically better than anyone else - putting yourself on a pedestal of self-sacrificial heroism will slowly allow you to internalize that that’s your purpose in life and you can ignore your real problems by focusing on how you can fix everyone else, and that path can lead you to justify yourself & overriding others’ agency far beyond what you should.

like... the reason fragments comes before homeworld bound is that fragments was an accident. in homeworld bound, steven finally felt like he could justify being a diamond - which, really, is power. it’s the power to have control over the lives and deaths of others.

i might make a longer post explaining this point at some point, but like... i’m gonna assume you’re a reasonable person here who doesn’t think white diamond is just some cackling caricature and actually thinks she’s doing what’s right. her understanding of others and of herself in relation to them rests on the exact same hero complex steven develops over the course of the show.
