That is just false.If you are on top you have less weight to deal with and your strikes are also going to be more damaging.
Being on top is simply the better position. Just becauase you could submit from the bottom doesnt change that. If i have you in a rear naked choke and you fall back and land on me effectively knocking me out that doesnt make the rnc a neutral position
You and i simply are at zero advantage in taking down Maia or Werdum. NONE.
So you cannot make those statements as absolutes.
So if they are not absolutes then it depends. It depends on the two people and what happens in those spots once it hits the ground. There is a reason why many do not take down top BJJ guys DESPITE what you say about the weight and potential of the strikes and that is because they know they would likely lose from that position.
What you are saying is equivalent to saying a striker has advantage over a grappler whenever a fight is standing because they are better at landing strikes and KO's and therefore even if they do nothing they should be gaining points for that advantageous position. NO.
it is not about the POTENTIAL of what a grappler can do or striker but rather about scoring what they ACTUALLY do.
