I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Could you rephrase "make more sense"?

Your assumption is incorrect.
Equations state that two entities are equal.

Inequalities state that two entities are unequal: that is, one of the entities is either larger or smaller than the other.

Both make equal sense.

For the same reason that apples make more sense than oranges.
