Nonesense. It’s a combination of the amount of material extruded and the layer thickness.

Not sure what you mean by printing ‘narrower’ lines. The width of a line is going to be set by your nozzle

You can totally extrude both narrower and wider than your nozzle. Heck, if you have a Slic3r based slicer like PrusaSlicer, Orca, SuperSlicer, etc and your extrusion width is expressed as a percentage, that percentage is a percentage of layer height - NOT nozzle diameter.
If you’re using 0.2mm layers, your extrusion with is expressed as a percentage, and you’re using a 0.4mm nozzle your extrusion with is less than your actual nozel diameter.
I print most of my prints with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.6mm extrusion width.

This is definitely not true of OrcaSlicer, at least not anymore. I’m running an 0.6mm nozzle and 120% layer width at 0.2mm layer height results in 0.72mm line width, not 0.24mm.
