Either I am misreading you or or we disagree wildly.

AWD is better than FWD or RWD, yes, but driving in the winter without snow tires.

AWD matters exactly 0 when emergency braking and little as long as you aren't driving flat and not accelerating.

Snow tyres help when accelerating, braking, driving straight forward and through curves, uphill and downhill.

There is a reason why snow tires are mandatory here and AWD is not.

Correct. All cars, whether they are FWD, RWD, or AWD are All-Wheel-Brake. The most important aspect of stopping safely are your tires.
