is "more so than" moving in on "more than"?

[Mark Mandel]

My daughter reports noticing use of "more so than" where she would
have expected "more than". She hasn't taken notes, but the made-up
example she gave me involved a quantitative rather than simply an
adverbial context, that is, referring to count or measurement. Anyone
else?
