Default Nut width and finger style

Hi, I often here fingerstyle players say that they prefer a wider nut width. Also , guitars are often advertised as having a wider nut width suited for fingerstyle.
Can someone explain this? I understand how wider string spacing at the saddle may be preferred but why would nut width be any different for strumming, flat picking or finger style?
I play almost exclusively fingerstyle. My 1.75 nut width guitar has wider spacing at the saddle than my 1.8 nut width.
