There's a 4th you're missing: lower reciprocating mass.

Low mass connected to the wheels(aside from the stator) combined with near instant torque control means they can adjust power to the wheels in a sub-ms(supposedly) range. Once you break traction it's really hard to get it back and you're fighting the momentum of an ICE engine in the non-EV case. You also have two completely independent motors so you don't have to fight with any transfer case or torque converter and it can just instantly shift power to where traction is available.

All I know is I can floor our 85D in the rain and it doesn't even shimmy, just plants and takes off.
