Unlike Superman, who has Kryptonite, and has to struggle with being the "strongest man on Earth" trying to live alongside fragile people and cities.
Batman has his flaws, too - he teeters very close to the abyss, and can be quite single-minded.
And others.

I like the rest of the Justice League members, except for her. Martian Manhunter - weak to fire.
Not to mention most of the cast has great personalities - but WW comes from an isolationist militarist society that hates "men" - that doesn't think very highly of them at all, when they've had minimal exposure to actual humankind. YUCK.

Wonder Woman herself is bland, though she (fortunately) lacks the same extreme views some of her society has.
Back when she was created, she had a weakness to bondage - which meant normal humans could indeed get the upper hand on her at times, balancing the scales somewhat, and forcing her to use her mind to escape. Not just rely on her Amazonian brawn 100% of the time.

That weakness was phased out over time, but they NEVER added another one to replace it. As a result, she became the absolute worst "hero" DC has, bar none. How is she the #3 face of the Justice League, behind Supes and Bats?

Her weaknesses probably come from whatever run and which writer you’re reading. I’m hard pressed to believe that in 70 years they’ve written a character with 1 weakness, ever. The movie version was Mary Sue as all get out, but if we wanted to snark at DC live action we could all be here for a century.
