Yeah; no.Krayt doesn't get "strongest Sith Lord ever" hype. Or feats (aside from using Dark Transfer in the grave).
In FOTJ: Apocalypse Krayt had a very strong showing, had feats that put him on par with a version of Luke that was far superior to the one in DE. Both of them basically fought a demi-god in a metaphysical battle of pure Force power and will and came out alive.
On top of that he has the Dark Transfer, an ability which both Sidious and Plagueis spent their whole lives searching for and never achieved. And he has feats that neither of them ever displayed, such as the Shatterpoint, using drain in combat or resisting the illusions of a prodigious sorcerer.
And it was also revealed that Krayt was the "dark man" that Luke was having visions/nightmares about for a very long time.
Now reasonable men can always differ, in light of all of the above I would expect anyone to acknowledge that case could be made for Krayt, at the very least.
But no. Why go through the trouble of thinking when you can argue ad nauseam about publisher blurbs are canon or whether quotes from 20 years ago apply to characters who hadn't been created yet.
It's all about the quotes. 🙄

A case can definitely be made. Krayt is not bound by Palpatine's quotes of supremacy, unlike the Sith who preceeded the Emperor. You might find making a case reliant of feats very difficult, though, but I'm willing to hear it if you will.
Nothing you've mentioned so far put Krayt in Palpatine's league, though. The Abeloth feat is great, but Krayt didn't actually do anything that would establish parity with Luke.
