There's a difference with Broly: he's not part of Dragon Ball canon, but he is part of Dragon Ball movie canon and has two movies (not counting his clone in Bio Broly), giving him enough feats and showcasings of him to at least measure, including planet-destroying and holding his ground against three Super Saiyans at once.

Evil Ryu is only a What-If and his in-game stories are just self-contained What-If's. Would Ryu completely consumed by the Satsui no Hado be more powerful than Akuma... or Akuma's What-If where he's completely consumed as well? Any of his "feats" regarding him defeating or being capable of defeating Akuma, Shin Akuma, or Oni all comes down to if the player can pull it off. Otherwise, Evil Ryu has nothing to go off of other than assumption alone from how he appears.

Broly is non-canon, but has feats in his own seperate canon. Evil Ryu is a neat concept whose appearances never amount to anything other than "that super move or ending looks cool" and non-canon win quotes  hinting at his "potential" strength. Broly was designed to be a powerful force of a movie villain that would challenge Dragon Ball's heroes. Evil Ryu was designed just to have an extra playable form of Ryu.
