Also how much you absorb and how fast you absorb it depends on your focus which is determined by your power level.The technicalities of ki absorption are not up for debate.
Essentially with your 500 PL with your super duper Ki absorption would be insignificant against someone who's got a 2500 pl and is running circles around you while you try to aim your technique and suck in their energy.
And he hits you so hard that it breaks bones.
The idea is that the technique would still give the higher power level person a hard time because it's powerful, and it is assumed the person has spent a good deal of energy perfecting it (ie, at the extent of physical prowess).
Sure, Spirit Bomb might not've killed Frieza, because Frieza was powerful. But you can't tell me it didn't hurt him in the slightest, and in a system where, exponentially, the characters are generally weaker than those in the DBZ canon, techniques have the potential to hurt more.
