It's not just the weight that needs to be considered, it's the tyre pressure and subsequent loading each wheel puts on the pavement. From what I've been told, the B787 has a bigger loading than the A380. The An225 has a heap of wheels, so it might have a relatively low or similar loading even at max weight compared to the A380.
(Another way of looking at it, would you rather a woman stand on your feet with flat shoes or high heels? I'll take the flat shoes option!)
