I disagree that grading is not stack ranking.

Everything about going to college is to a stamp of approval that you are “better” than others. Better than people from other schools and better than people within your class.

The entire academic system is also “stack ranked”. Promotions depend on getting published in journals, winning awards, and getting grants that others cannot get.
