The big benefit is from snow tires. Snow tires on a RWD car will perform way better than all season tires on an all wheel drive car.

Not sure I agree. I own both a RWD Z4M and an AWD 911 Carrera 4S and its clear the Z4M at times has problems putting all the power down while tracking perfectly straight even with an M diff LSD. This is with Michelin PS4's all around. Would it be more stable with wider tires? Maybe. But I have a feeling dividing the power between the front and rear axle would help.
And of course snow tires help. Snow tires on an AWD car are going to perform better than snow tires on a RWD car. Since that is an option I believe that point is moot
