Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a light object?

Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. But a heavy object does not fall faster than a light object. This is because of the reason that
Acceleration = \(\frac{Force}{Mass}\)
or Force = Acceleration × Mass As force is directly proportional to mass, acceleration is constant for a body of any mass.
