The Thor/BRB debate has happened 100 times. They stalemate each other in most categories, but Thor's versatility with Mjolnir is off the charts. He has dozens of feats that we can't just assume Bill could recreate. You may disagree with it, but in a nutshell, that's why Thor is HH and BRB is MH.
Also, sure, Stormbreaker. I read it too. But seriously go through the HH list and consider their best feats as well. There's wiggle room in all of this, but it's not without justification to have BRB at mid. And he's one of the most powerful mids, so everyone acknowledges that he's close.
As ever, the tiers are - and have always been - a rough guideline. About 90% of the discussion surrounding them revolves around people getting persnickety thinking that it's an absolute ranking. It's not. It's a rough gauge that was intended for people very new to the hobby, to get them up to speed on the forums, and for tourney purposes. It has almost no value for anyone who's been around for a while. except to fuel debate that has no true answer.

Yeah, Bill was my alternate to Cable.
