But he still overcame it and didn't go through with it.

Did he not intend to go through with it or did Ben just stop him before he could?
Honestly, even at the end when he meets with Leia he is still all “he can”t be saved”. Luke never even tried to save him. Only Rey did, so go figure.
How long is a fleeting thought? I mean if he was just thinking about it for so brief a time, how long did it take him to decide to go and sneak up on his sleeping nephew? How long did it take Luke to decide to bring his weapon with him?
This action by Luke wasn’t just a brief thought that he brushed aside. It was a calculated plan.
Speaking of plans, that is what Yoda and Obi-Wan had. They didn’t simply fall into depression and decide to hide out. The entire Jedi Order couldn’t defeat Palpatine, Yoda couldn’t defeat Palpatine - so they put a long term plan into effect with the most powerful Force users they had, the chosen one’s children.
Luke, he didn’t fight Snoke, he didn’t fight Ben, he didn’t do squat. Huge difference from the how and why of Yoda & Obi’s actions.
