It depends on the geometric stability of the column shape, which is why I said what I said. The reality is that compressive stress limits are much lower in steel than tensile, as you’re noting.
They are only the same in an abstract theoretical sense, not an actual one.
And bucking within the column (and/or the resistance too it) is primarily resisted by tensile strength.
