Hmm... to be honest, the Colours writing makes it actually a bit more interesting. I can now really see a Sonic who's getting older trying to still be on the same wavelength as his little bro, even though Tails has already grown up past that kind of thing. Like he's having trouble moving on from being Tails' childhood hero to just Tails' best friend. It's both an ego thing and a sentimental thing - it's about both elevating himself in Tails' eyes, and offering him someone to look up to - and it's most likely not even conscious, since he'd realise what a hypocrite he was if he really knew how he was acting.

(Additionally, does everybody keep forgetting that Sonic is only fifteen years old? His voice has finally broken all the way, but it doesn't mean he'll instantly act like an adult.)
