Immortality is quite an accomplishment, God knows how many times I pined that down as his strongest point. But it was introduced eight years after original game as a mean to introduce him once more. If we're look at original game creators never meant to make Sephiroth immortal, but overall popularity of both character, and the game changed that with Advent Children. Immortality itself is not what you meant it out to be, he's restricted as he can't pop out whenever he wants. His will may be immortal, but not to dissolve it's fighting with lifstream which he doesn't have any control over it, thus the attempt with Geostigma. And judging by Advent Children he's going to have to find another way to take a form, as there's nothing left of Jenova. Immortality may lead him to what he desires, but at the same time, due to few problems he has to solve, it wont be as easy as you seem to claim, him still seeking power indicates that the current immortality is far from what he imagined as ultimate power.
I don't mind taking the entire story as a comparison, in fact I welcome it, but considering that he appeared in several medias, in Advent Children immortality was even added, he did little with what he had to offer, and after Advent Children I'm starting to doubt, and have good reasons for it, if he will accomplish anything in near future. Not really a card I would like to play, if I was a Sephiroth fan, as a comparison to other villains who accomplished their goals despite the fact that they only appeared in their respective game.
You can have a God like power, but what for if you don't know how to use it. Sephiroth's a perfect example of such villain, good villains take advantage of everything on their disposal, stupid comparison but nevertheless, he reminds me of Dr. Evil from Austin Powers, he has means and opportunity to accomplish his goal, but doesn't know how to.
