There were several reasons why the Holy Roman Emperor's title was rather weak.
One was that the emperor was elected. The emperors were not able to build dynasties that had the power other royal houses had.
Another was that the Holy Roman Empire was made up of a large number of relatively independent states, literally hundreds of them. Some of these were very small, and they included bishoprics, free cities, and communes. Others, such as the Kingdom of Bohemia and large and powerful in their own right. The leaders of these various states were very jealous of the power of their own territories and did not want the empire to gain power at their expense.
The Holy Roman Empire was also mostly German, but not entirely so. The German areas were divided not those speaking High German dialects and those speaking Saxon or Low German dialects. But there were also important areas where people spoke French, Italian, or any of a number of Slavic languages, to name a few. Uniting these people into a cohesive nation was next to impossible.

Why were eastern emperor more powerful than those in the west (the byzantines)?
Yes and No. Comparing Byzantine emperors with Charlemagne in the time of 800 to 814 is comparing them with the one person who was probably the most powerful monarch of the Middle Ages. Later Byzantine emperors would have to be compared with western emperors of the Holy Roman Empire of their own times. Most of the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were rather weak. This was partly because they were elected, and so there was no father to prepare the throne for them, but it was mostly because they had powerful feudal vassals, including kings, who limited their authority. Of course the Byzantine Empire gradually declined through the entire Middle Ages, leaving a rather decrepit country in the end, and an emperor of this country had no more power than his country did, and the Holy Roman Emperor had much more power than the Byzantine Emperor.

Neither had strong central governments, but for different reasons.In Germany, there was a weak central government ruling a country usually called the Holy Roman Empire, but also called Germany. The emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was elected by a collage of seven electors and subsequently crowned by the pope. During the time between the election and the coronation, he was called King of Germany, and after the coronation, he was referred to as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The country was made up of hundreds of smaller territories, ranging in size from kingdoms down to counties and individual cities, each with its own local government, and most of the laws were local. There is a link below to an article on the Holy Roman Empire. There is also a link to a related question on why the Holy Roman Empire did not have a strong central government.Italy had a number of independent countries, which varied with the passing of time. Italy was very much under the influence of the Byzantine Empire, the Kingdom of Lombardy, the Holy Roman Empire, the Normans, and even, for a relatively short while, Muslims, all of whom occupied parts of it at times. There were also independent republics in Italy, such as Venice and Genoa, which were often rivals of one another.
