It isn't necessarily (depending on your perspective). A three phase fault is a severe duty on generators, because all three phases are shorted. In solidly grounded systems a phase to ground fault could result in higher magnitude currents, which would be more difficult for a breaker to interrupt (so from the breaker's perspective, this would be more severe).
