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.

I don’t agree with that interpretation.
They simply stated that ranking things by “badness” also implies a ranking in terms of which one of those bad things is more urgent and should be addressed first - not that one thing was bad and that the other want, or that only one thing could be solved.
