More range yes. For torque, human assist has more input for a lighter wheel and motor, but fat tire motors have 50%+ more torque. Smaller diameter wheels further help torque, and the motor alone accelerating the wheel faster makes any human input just extra.
They all/tend to have much higher torque that compensates for bad rolling/air resistance.
That’s true, but skinnier tires would also let you get more range out of an equivalent battery on top of better acceleration.
It’s all a trade-off though, fat tires offer better vibration dampening/pseudo-suspension, and they are unmatched riding on sand.

Yeah but that would also hold true for a skinnier wheel (part of why cargo bikes don’t use superfat tires),
