Biden's had no more regard for the intended role of the executive branch than Trump, he's just less openly antagonistic about it. Trump openly derides the system, while Biden just quietly whips it into line.

I disagree. If Biden was anywhere near that level, we'd be seeing him use much more power to at the very least earn some political capital he needs going into a contentious election. Most of the time this gets brought out, it's for transferring arms to Israel. Regardless of your opinions on the transfer itself, which I also disagree with, it's at least arguable those transfers are legal. Someone else in this thread linked more info. If it's not that, I'm going to need to see some examples of overreach that come anywhere close to the Trump admin.
