Except A-Rod is a far better player than Jeter.

It's not this simple. And there are other ways to look at it. Either way, ensuring Jeter retires a Yankee is far more important to the Yankees than how he plays over the next 4 years. It's not like he's going to be shit.
And although past accomplishments aren't usually honored in contract years, Jeter is clearly one of the exceptions.

It's really about principle. If the Yankees shell out money to A-Rod, they have to give it to Jeter or there is going to be disgust among fans, both in NY and around the league.
Especially because it's the Yankees. It's not like Jeter is trying to shake down the Royals for money they don't have. It's the Yankees and we all know how they do business.

Jeter has never brought down shame, and he's been more valuable when it counts and over time. A Rod is still a great player, but he's the same age as Jeter. Most of his signing was to ensure he broke the HR record in pin-stripes.
Jeter hanging up his cleats in The Bronx shouldn't be any less important. He's the biggest Yankee legend since Mantle.
