Very true. However, we know from Martha that Clark was 13 and decided to always keep his differences a secret. And he grew up with the idea that he would be "locked in a lab and dissected like a frog" if anyone ever found out. So I can't see him willingly telling anyone, especially overbearing Lana.
That's in canon dimension. We don't know that canon Clark ever told canon Lana about his powers. It's also very possible that canon Lana and alt-Lana had very different personalities.
Alt-Clark told alt-Lana (I assume) for two reasons. Either because he asked her to marry him, but I'm guessing he told her earlier than that. Alt-Clark had nobody else to confide in and after years of dating she either saw things or he confided in her because she became as close to family as he had known since his family died when he was 10.
