I've heard this arguement of 'more width doesnt mean more grip' before There are other factors but in general terms wider tires does mean more grip! there are other factors linked to it but it is the main contributing factor.

Go ahead, we'll race a pair of F1 cars around a track, you can use a 2" wide rim while I'll use the standard F1 width and we'll see how we go.

Dont you see that incorporating factors like 'its the same weight spread over a bigger distance in a big tire, so if its smaller it'll just make the tire wear more thats all' is conceding that a lesser width tire has less grip in real world terms.
