We do what he does because God literally tells us to, that's it. It's not subjective at all, the highest authority that exists has literally ordained us to do so because Rasulullah (Peace Be Upon Him) is the epitome of Islamic morals, which (spoiler alert) come from God.
We are only to do what is just in Allah :swt: 's sight,.
When Allah's messenger :saws: took off his sandals during the prayer and the companions later followed suit, he completed the prayer and asked them their intention for removing theirs and then explained to them that he had removed his due to the impurity under his sandals - thereby indicating that they were not to just copy him blindly but with proper intention to obey Allah :swt: who is their ultimate judge.
We do not angrily turn away from blind men simply because he did it -since we know it was a fault in Allah's sight.
The messenger's duty is to convey the message and he is responsible for his actions just as every other individual is responsible for their own.
If any refuse to follow the messenger out of rebellion to Allah :swt: The Most Truthful, Wise, and Just, the rebel will have commited a fault for which he/she is liable.
If any copies the messenger in a fault in Allah's sight - the person is again liable.
(240)Chapter: Praying In Sandals(91) باب الصَّلاَةِ فِي النَّعْلِ
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was leading his Companions in prayer, he took off his sandals and laid them on his left side; so when the people saw this, they removed their sandals. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished his prayer, he asked: What made you remove your sandals? The replied: We saw you remove your sandals, so we removed our sandals.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said: Gabriel came to me and informed me that there was filth in them. When any of you comes to the mosque, he should see; if he finds filth on his sandals, he should wipe it off and pray in them.

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
He frowned and turned away,
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in purity)?-
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
To him dost thou attend;
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in purity).
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
And with fear (in his heart),
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Of him wast thou unmindful.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.

Narrated 'Aishah:
"When this Ayah was revealed: 'And warn your tribe of near kindred (26:214).' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'O Safiyyah bint 'Abdul-Muttalib! O Fatimah bint Muhammad! O Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib! I have no power to help you at all before Allah! Ask of me whatever you want from my wealth.'"

مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُؤْتِيَهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحُكْمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقُولَ لِلنَّاسِ كُونُوا۟ عِبَادًا لِّى مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِن كُونُوا۟ رَبَّٰنِيِّۦنَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَدْرُسُونَ
It is not (possible) that a man, to whom is given the Book, and Wisdom, and the prophetic office, should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah's": on the contrary (He would say) "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all: For ye have taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly."
From Quran, Chapter 3, Aal-e-Imran, Verse 79
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِۦۖ وَمَنْ أَسَآءَ فَعَلَيْهَاۖ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ
If any one does a righteous deed, it ensures to the benefit of his own soul; if he does evil, it works against (his own soul). In the end will ye (all) be brought back to your Lord.
