Briefly looking at the gameplay, I feel that for actual completed builds when played by competent players, Sanby should perform better than Seed.
The synergy simply isn't there, so I'm suspecting it's a case of
>Seed is baseline stronger than SAnby
>Seed is baseline better against UCC SAnby
>Seed is easier to play than SAnby
The "baseline stronger" part will most certainly shift in SAnby's favor - as the build improves, a 1000 free ATK begins to matter less. Meanwhile a 30% increase in CRIT DMG begins to matter more.
The "ease of play" (not talking about what "feels" easier to play, but what can produce better results at lower skill level) will also mean that a better player is more likely to disproportionally improve SAnby's score.

The score comparison isn't 1:1.
UCC is one of the easiest bosses in the game to score high on, Pompey is one of the harder ones, unless your name is Eve (and Fufu, to an extent).
Also, S11/Lighter/Orpheus isn't the best combo.
I'm not sure if there are better combos out there (i.e. Astra is probably better than Lighter there, but I can't be sure), but the point is that there's a case of pretty strong counter-synergy between Lighter and Orphie, as the latter has 85% DMG increase built directly into like 95% of her kit, making Lighter's 75% DMG buff comparatively way less impressive.
