Ok! I've watched the film again.
1: The Atlanteans actually started off as surface dwellers. They were given the "gift" of water breathing when King Atlan accidently created the fall of Atlantis. Certain groups of Atlanteans were devolved into various sub species.
2: They go out of there way to quite specifically say that if you are a "high born" Atlantean (Mera, Arthur, Orm etc) then you suffer no ill affects on land or sea. Only the sub species have trouble and It's strictly a breathing thing, not a stat reduction.
3: As Slade1 pointed out, taking Orm to land was all about experience of terrain and nothing to do with where one gets there powers from. Dude had just spent precious little time above water and was uncomfortable with his footing in a sense. Same as why Orm bear Arthur under water. Just experience.
So, the Submarine feat is fine. And Superman treated the guy capable of it as a minor nuisance despite 2 other people struggling against him as well.

Avengers Endgame probably makes the outcome of this battle much clearer.
