Once again, power in the Nasuverse is not always about pure power. Compatibility is often key. Something specifically made to be used against something will almost always trump something with many times more "power." In GOA, it's heavily implied that in the need that the Earth needs defending from a Type-level threat, Excalibur can be summoned with the "Anti-Type" attribute. The simple fact that it would be Anti-Type means that it could, regardless of power, and only because of sheer compatibility, perform feats like that of Slash Emperor. Also, Arturia is not in a servant vessel. She is unique that she never actually died, hence why she can't fade like other servants. She has her original body. She made a contract with the world and can't die (and hence can't actually ascend to the throne of heroes) until she actually claims the grail.

Also, Rhongomyniad is Anti-Fortress lore-wise, so it most likely couldn't actually compete with Ea on a destruction level, but once again we're crossing into compatibility territory. It's like comparing Ea to CCC. It gets complex, real fast.
