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.
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),
