I believe you were using Bicubic75 for downscaling? That would explain it. Other high quality renders might use something very similar to madVR's Bicubic75 for downscaling but nothing else uses anything as good as SSIM or Jinc.

Edit: I should add that madVR's greatest strength is SD at 1080p or 720/1080 at 4K. SSIM is very impressive but other than that it is hard to be obviously better when downscaling, downscaling looks pretty good even with the old fast methods like bicubic or even bilinear.
