Cosmic Binding is arguably easier to land on more than one target than Aqua Prison, Caretaker's Shrine can be set up to get 1 mini-heal and 3 full heals all at once, way out-healing Ebb and Flow, Bard's Meeps are basically a permanent Tidecaller's Blessing on himself, and he gets his Magical Journey to boot for chasing/escaping/general map movement, something essentially an entire extra ability that Nami has nothing like. Their ults work for pretty much the exact same purpose, but while Tidal Wave is easier to land, Tempered Fate keeps enemies stuck longer and there's nothing they can do in retaliation. You could argue that Tidal Wave gives the doubled movement speed bonus from Nami's passive, but between Magical Journey, instant or well-prepared Caretaker's Shrines, and Chimes for himself, Bard has far more in the team mobility department.
