He mocks Strange, captures him with relative ease despite being hassled by Spider Man, and then... that's all it takes to kill this guy? Seriously, Strange couldn't handle him?

Just some weird nerfing of the guys who are supposed to be the more powerful characters in the group.
Mere mortals cannot use the stones. GotG had Quill barely be able to use one, and only because he's half-planet. And the cosmic cube controlled the stone within it, so that Loki could (barely) use its power.

Even Thanos needs the Gauntlet to be able control the stones.
