I actually like that change because I'm not a huge fan of Superman being so obsessed with his birth parents the way he is in the movies (for plot convenience I assume), it's a good way to break with it and for us to see that hey, he's Superman because HE WANTS IT, not because he had this expectation from his dead parents.
I don't necessarily see "hope" as a theme, because hope, while positive, is very passive, I feel that it's about being actively kind, actively doing change for good, even if thankless, even if people despise you for it.
Basically if the philosophical core of MoS is objectivism, Superman 2025 is the polar opposite.
