I had the same point of view.
However, at many places, I have read -> When describing the similarities between unlike things, the idiom "compare to" is used. When describing the differences between like things, the idiom "compare with" is used.

Are you sure this is no more valid on the GMAT.
If there any other point related to COMPARE usage, then please share.

Thanks
