Given that any failure will already be in the
wood rather than the joint, how can a T&G type joint be any stronger at
all?

Increased surface area with glue joints is one reason. Also, a T&G to fail
completely would require failure several areas.

But the increased surface area doesn't buy you anything. In either case the failure will be in the wood, not the glue joint. ...

That conclusion, of course, depends on the wood and the glue as well as the quality of the joint itself.
