It also implies that one (the worst one) deserves more attention. In this case we should probably be paying attention to both.

Mm no, they just said it was worse. You’re reaching.

No, they said it was “far worse,” which definitely implies a ranking of how bad they perceive the respective issues.

This is what they said; they implied the root comment was saying that two things couldn’t be bad or only one could be solved. But it didn’t. He said, paraphrasing, “there are two issues and I find this one to be far worse”.
Ranking issues in terms of how bad they are seems a fairly normal thing to do. It also implies that there is more than one.
