It would also be a cool subversion to have Data say he was designed to be human and doesn't have super human strength. Or the motors for micro control are tuned for precision and not torque. Anything to undermine the trope that robots are superior to humans in every way.

    That would actually make more sense to say Dr Soong was totally focused on the positronic brain, they already had plenty of things like the DOTs to do physically demanding tasks so making Data super strong wouldn’t be a priority.
