Why are capstan wheels different size?

The capstan is a passive device. The motor pulley diameter via the *pinch
roller* determines the tape speed. The capstan wheel can be any size at all.
By my mind that is backward: the pinch roller is passive (not being driven).
The capstan shaft (~2mm diam) is driven by capstan flywheel/belt/motor
pulley.
No?
Thanks.
