There is no strong distinction in backing: USDT just has a slightly more believable story.

Also the price of a stablecoin can shift from it's peg, even if it has 100% backing, when there is latency/congestion/spread/volume for the arbitrage trade.

That said, there is a whole heap of plenty of evidence that USDT is not backed by dollars 1:1.
