They were also dealing with two very different things. Quicksilver scenario being fairly straightforward.
QS had never been in a fight before but he seemed to be doing okay fighting the guards and then fighting Apocalypse until he got his leg broken. Flash had his powers long enough for Luthor to know about him.
He only upgraded himself twice. They could have bypassed the first one and just had him go straight to his Vibranium form but they didn't because then Captain America would have done nothing in the movie.
So they chose to not make Ultron immediately some all powerful villain. It isn't like he hasn't done this "Upgrade to a stronger form" thing in the comics a lot.
Captain America kinda has been useless in the two movies. He got his ass kicked by Loki, struggled more than anyone else against the Chitari, got dropped on his ass by Quicksilver, got controlled by Scarlet Witch, got his ass kicked by Ultron and then beat up some Ultron Sentry fodder which are apparently so weak than Black Widow can destroy them with a handgun.
Well, that's what I mean by Marvel not being dumb enough to stupidly overpower their heroes to the point there's no point caring about them (WW, Flash, Quicksilver, Superman). Cap gets beat on but STILL comes off a good enough character we care just as much for what he does outside the fighting and the character interactions as he does inside the fight.
