Except what you're comparing is pointless. You can't compare your abilities to those of other people, if what you're comparing is the ability to do something nobody ever does.

Theres absolutely no situation in playing the guitar where having a stronger pinky finger is a great benefit. If your guitars are set up correctly you should be able to fret a 13 guage string with any finger with minimal effort. Bending is a different story, but nobody bends with their pinky fingers anyway. I've been playing 11 years and I've never seen it. Ever. I've seen it used in a bend, but only ever when supported by another finger.
