Shoulder width feet in other sports is for stability (not  balance), and therefore more able to resist external disruptions (someone bumping into you). In those situations you never want your center of mass outside your feet.

Whoops.  I should've written that more clearly.  I meant I didn't understand using the shoulders as the reference point, because shoulder/hip widths vary quite a bit by individual, and people end up putting themselves into weird positions while following that instruction due to individual morphology.  I think a better approach is to speak from the perspective of the hips, so say "a bit wider than hip width" or whatever instead.
