Look at the guys who compete in strongman and their shoulders. They do basically all push presses or push jerks, and their shoulders are massive.

That is simply not true. Though the pressing events in contest are done push press or power jerk style, in training all types of presses are done.
As you become more efficient at the push press less work is done by the shoulders at the bottom of the movement. It is a factor of increasing skill.
Both the push press and the standard overhead press are great, both exercises should be utilized in training, and both exercises have a different training effect.
I do not think that these 2 exercises should really be compared to one another since each brings about a unique training effect.
