I suspect it's actually this, rather than Thanos having to get all the stones in order for them to win.

Except he didn't when he was fighting Ebony Maw on Earth, which is what I was talking about. It's just sort of jarring when you have this ultra-powerful character who gets easily handled by a villain, and then the villain is himself easily killed with, essentially, a gag death. Seriously, he's powerful enough to handle the Sorcerer Supreme with ease, but can't survive someone blowing a hole in his space ship?

I remember Joss Whedon talking about having to make sense of an Avengers team with wildly different levels of power and being consistent about that. In this movie they just seemed to give people whatever power level was convenient to the plot at the time, regardless of consistency with prior films. It's not like it ruined the movie or anything close to it, but I noticed it.
