My command does the same when called with a numeric prefix argument.

The difference is when you don't call it with a numeric prefix.
indent-rigidly uses the default value of 1. My command uses the next or
previous tab stop as the default (as defined in the tab-stop-list
variable). My command has all the functionality of indent-rigidly but
also added intelligence to understand tab-stop-list. My command relies
on indent-rigidly to do the actual job.

That's why I'm saying that my command supersedes indent-rigidly.
