We're different because its experiencing completely different loads, and with different weight requirements. Unless you've suddenly gotten a lot stronger than last time we rode, you're not putting out as much torque as a dirtbike.
The width argument is ok for rear ends, but does a closed QR actually stick out beyond the fork lowers? Certainly not 20mm.
Also, I'd say dirtbikers take wheels off less frequently - they tend to load in trailers and pickups, etc, not the back of a station wagon, or a fork-mount bike rack.
