Two reasons: one, ... finer grain/wider format reduces
the degradation.
Secondly: brighter, sharper projection: the larger the
film area, the more light you can jam through the print without
toasting it.
Thirdly: the width of a scratch on the film is independent of film
width. So a scratch on a larger print becomes smaller on the screen
due to the fact that less magnification is required in projection.
