No one ever genuinely debated Xebec > Imu even before this backstory.
But the underlying takeaway Oda wanted us readers get from he backstory was Xebec being that wall which lies in the center between Imu and everyone else.
Which is apparent in this chapter where Oda still couldn't bring himself to have Imu 1v1 beat down Xebec despite them fighting for the entire chapter and instead resorted to the Majin route.

1- It saves face for Xebec.
2- It makes sense from Imus POV to want to torture him that way and have him kill his own family.
