It's true it's the only passport which allows freedom of movement in both Schengen and UK. But that's just Schengen + one additional area/nation.
A Nordic passport allows freedom of movement in Schengen + Greenland. Ireland does not. With a French passport you have access to Schengen + collectives like French Polynesia and Saint Pierre & Miquelon. So it gets a bit fuzzy if all you are ranking is "freedom of movement".

Reply to comment by DickweedMcGee in TIL that one of the few positive health effects of smoking is a drastic reduction of a person's risk of thyroid cancer. According to a Korean study of the health records of over 10M people, smokers have a 36% lower risk of thyroid cancer. Smoking and heavy drinking reduces one's risk even more. by EncyclopediaJake
"Heavy smokers and drinkers have a decreased chance of contracting all diseases!"
