Well, GF IS stronger than SSB (at that point in time), the only reason Frieza was getting thrashed by Vegeta is because, like Goku said, the form drains his energy faster than his body can provide it, so while GF is stronger than SSB, the form takes too much energy to maintain for long time periods, which ultimately lead to Goku and Vegeta being able to beat it. It's very similar to SSJ3 in a way, the form is immensely powerful, but uses a lot of energy and stamina to maintain. But now that Frieza is dead, he can hold that form for much longer than if he were alive. Like how Goku could use SSJ3 a lot when he was dead, but when he was revived, his living body could hardly sustain the form.
