Compare that with the pre-reboot seasons, the ones with all the hokey sets and endless serials, where the Doctor and his companions were exploring historical periods or futuristic sci fi settings, watching living people making choices and having to live with the consequences.

I mean... this is *more* true of Classic Who than New Who, but there's also plenty of stuff you can point to from the third Doctor period onward where the universe bends around the Doctor and he's the most important person ever. For instance, the entire character and personality of the Fourth Doctor, or a bunch of Seventh Doctor episodes where he's a massive dark chessmaster, or a lot of the more Gallifrey-centric plotlines and crossovers.

Ultimately "the Doctor is incredibly special and powerful and central to the universe in a myriad of ways" is a fundamental core premise of the show, and has been to one extent or another since the 1970s. It's more pronounced in the Moffat era because Moffat happens to be particularly unsubtle about his affection for cleverness-based power fantasies, and also is sometimes just a bad writer, but it's basically in line with the premise and nature of the show and character.
