It's not the reason he's that strong; it's just proof.
There's also atomizing six Maladians with a single Force wave,
smashing Tenebrous' head in before he understood what happened,
defeating Venamis comfortably in lightsaber combat (which he had always found boring),
causing the coldest recorded weather in the Gungans' history through his presence alone,
inadvertently leaving planetwide dark side nexuses merely by practicing alchemy,
and never having lost to anyone 'til Sidious slew him.
And it's made abundantly clear that the dark side takes (more) interest in those who never fail.

Why isn't the weather always cold due to his presence if that was the cause?
You're taking symbolism (and frankly very corny and hamfisted symbolism) of Plagueis' meeting with Sidious and how it would lead to the darkness of the Emperor's reign and turning it into some big feat of power on Plagueis' part, and you're not even the first person I've seen do it (and I don't even debate SW). It's laughable.
Originally posted by NemeBroNot really, the magnitude of the weather change for a sub-tropical climate beggars belief that it was coincidental, as does the fact that the planet experienced earthquakes simultaneously. Reason it didn't happen on other worlds being that Naboo is a Force nexus. 👆
