well a Fighter isnt having alot of skills.
meanwhile a wizard got tons of utility spells that solve "skill challenges" without having to roll to begin with.

as for the shove buffing wizards. Well, yes and no.
It is a buff, but its more so a buff to the fighter as Shove uses Strenght versus the targerts strenght / dex.

This means that a Fighter will succeed more with a shove, and an enemy doing a shove on a wizard is more likeley to succeed
so technically its a small buff to the wizard, a big buff to the fighter and then another big nerf to the wizard (provided enemie salso get shove as a minor action)

As for 9 th level spells and action surge:
Which leaves out that yes, a fighter might brutalize one or two enemies in one round and the wizard might only have one ninth level spell slot IIRC, but that ninth level spell slot isnt gonna evicerate one enemy or two, not even an encounter in the case of wish or creative use of time stop, it might negate multiple encounters or end an entire plot thread, there sno comparison here
