Why?
Because the source of the power holding the ship together is dead?

Ah, but Sidious achieved that by unknown means, possibly ritualistic in nature. Theres no indication that he needs to constantly maintain the domination in order for it to be effective. In contrast we know how Nihilus enthralled his crew: The same way the Exile enthralled hers.
Which doesn't make it more impressive?

There isn't a single instance of a dark side nexus being even nearly as effective as you are claiming. There is no nexus that powerful. And still, even if it doubled Nihilus' power (a completely absurd figure), the feat would still be more powerful than any Sidious has ever performed.
The disaster at Malachor V was powerful enough to generate two Force wounds; it stands to reason that, given the catastrophe it endured, it is much more powerful than the nexus at play on Vjun. More importantly, Nihilus achieved that by unknown means, possibly ritualistic in nature.

Nihilus didn't know Sith rituals at the time.

Ritualistic. Nihilus could have meditated on such an obviously powerful dark nexus and used the borrowed energies in such a way that would not be available to him elsewhere.
Eh, sounds shady.
If Canon could confirm it, that would be good.
Otherwise... I'm going to steal it and use it in a Fanfic. 😊
