Steven Universe is a show trying to act as a window for kids to see themselves and to see and understand relationships of all stripes (family, friendly, romantic, hateful, etc.). It's usually shat on here by people who forgot that the majority of S1 had nothing to do with space aliens or fighting empires and want the show to change to match what they want it to be, rather than remember what it is and has been.
Star vs., meanwhile, is trying to tell a story in a semi-serial format with drama, where the point is drawing people in by peeling back layers of mystery and revealing an unexpectedly broader world and its conflicts, while periodically including episodes meant to entertain separately of this--though lately it's looking more like even these 'filler' episodes serve to enhance the plot and themes of the current arc. It's not really trying to act as a mirror for kids to see their own experiences in, or to try and teach empathy.
I prefer Star, myself, but if I had to pick between them while babysitting my young niece and nephew, it'd be Steven Universe.
