Hmmm. I’m sure opinions will vary on that. I’ve lead a large team for many years, and have had my share of guitars. Both single coil and humbuckers. I guess it depends upon the guitar, and the player.
For me, I seem to go through different phases. Periods of humbuckers, and periods of single coils. Even a “season” of P-90’s.
I agree resonance and cutting through are important, but I’m not certain that I can agree that single coils are more “soulful”.
Tone is definitely subjective. So, “to each his own” I suppose. Nevertheless your friend has great taste in guitars. All the best.
