Aren't they the strongest creatures/animals in the world, when you factor in their weight vs what they can carry and do?

Maybe. But if humans were ant sized we'd be even more badass. Humans have much more muscle mass by proportion than ants do.

Strength does not scale linearly with size so larger animals need more of their body to be muscle.

An ant-sized human would be a fricking machine. A human-sized ant would collapse under its own body weight.
