The androids have positronic brains and super strength.
They can tear through metal bulkheads with their bare hands.
Some have an additional AI construct (Mom AI) in their positronic brains.
I don't think this happens when you try to defibrillate a human body:
This is not what "indistinguishable from humans" looks like.
Prime Picard specifically asked his synth body to be as close to human as possible, with no immortality or superhuman abilities.The androids have positronic brains and super strength.

However, Confed Picard, whose body is the one currently running around Season 2, doesn't share those values and we still haven't been given an explanation (unless I missed it) on why someone like him who relies solely on force to maintain power did not get upgraded in his synth body.
Because the Confed would want an ability to keep people from getting too powerful and upend the apple cart.
Q is trying to sabotage Renee Picard's mission, to the point of getting Soong to try to run down Renee and hit Jean-Luc.
Also Q: save Picard and his friends from the timeline change to allow them to stop Q's plans. Wait what? Are we sure now it was Q who saved Picard and his friends from the timeline alteration, or the hooded Borg Queen (probably Jurati)?

Our Picard can't make use of special abilities he doesn't know he has...
Yeah, I think we are.
Not even the Borg could have pulled that off.
Decker had some great Kirk-fu.
yet they pass as human even on 24th century scanners.
not Picard.
prime Picard didn’t ask a thing: he was quite dead or at least unconscious when his golem body was prepared, the transfer was made against his will.
We have no information on how confederation Picard got his synth body (apart from it being linked somehow to skull dukat), but it is totally possible he didn’t get to decide either.
The only ones who'd transfer general picard into a new body is the confed, and the same question remains--everything we know about them indicates they'd give picard powers considering they're even bothering to resurrect him instead of letting him die a human.
or a mad scientist. Or someone using a technology they didn’t fully understand. Or someone who wanted to repay a debt they owed Picard and allowed him to live. Or who knows? Possibilities are literally endless. And even if the confederates did it, say president Annika Hansen ordered his resurrection, why would she put him in the position of maybe using his superpowers to become himself the ruler of the confederation? He’s much more useful as an old general who is a symbol of the strength of humanity and owes her. Not to mention that of course nobody outside the inner circle needs to know about him not being quite human anymore, that is as long as his loyalty to the president remains unwavering!
I do admit that it's unlikely President Hansen would want to increase the potential of a coup by giving Picard powers, didn't think about that.
Exactly right. Keeping Picard at the same level means you can still use his intellect without giving him more powers. Or, Hansen promised synth powers but never followed through.
This is one of those not-so-minor points of plot logic I hope the writers have got covered. There's very little of what Q has or is doing that makes much sense at this juncture.
They went to some efforts to say they planned this season out and w/ Matalas having penned the finale, I still have some hope these various threads will start coming together (soon!).
It's Q.
It's absurd by definition.

They won't.They'd better ...
They had EIGHT MONTHS to sit with the script!
That’s the whole season so far in a nutshell. A whole lot of “WTF?!” things that don’t seem to make sense. The hope is that they will give us satisfying explanations that make sense of all these things. If they do, it will be very gratifying. If they don’t, this season sucks.
