I don't think it's fair to compare World Championship rankings for S/B and M-T/M. The first Worlds S/B went to they were still juniors. Despite that they did well. The Worlds in 2016 and 2017 were vastly different for pairs. The 2017 edition was a tougher competition being the major Olympics qualifier. Two of the Russian teams skated better. One of the new Chinese pairs outperformed all of the Canadian teams. Vanessa & Morgan improved dramatically. Marchei/Hotarek also had a strong finish. Even with all that and being Canada's #3 team Julianne & Charlie finished 11th, higher than Russia's #3 team and the #2 team of Italy (and Denney/Frazier too but they didn't manage to make the FS). I am not sure M-T/M could do better.
