Ethan Furman added the comment:
set's don't have values, and you are wanting to implement the partial ordering
based on the values. (side-note: how does partial-ordering work for sets?)

According to your definition, my example should have returned True, which is
clearly nonsensical.
Even if you changed the definition to:
For every item in the first counter, that item's value is less than the
corresponding item in the second counter.
You have situations like:
Counter({'a':1, 'b':1}) < Counter({'a':2})
I just don't think there is one interpretation that is going to be correct most
of the time.
