Because Ultima was never an EX fight. They essentially beefed up a hard made back in ARR. Hence why it never got the Extreme moniker. Sephirot, on the other hand, is how Extreme fights used to be. Granted, he's arguably the hardest ever released before we saw a gradual decline to what EXs are now: chump fights for the most part. If you've done Unreal since it released, Sephirot isn't that much harder than Titan or Leviathan were in PF. People are simply too used to the faceroll of Ultima.
