I think oil in pizza sauce also helps prevent the sauce from drying out during baking, ensuring a moist and flavorful pizza . Though, if you're watching your oil intake, you can achieve similar results by using a higher water content sauce or adding a splash of broth.

In my experience, adding oil to pizza sauce helps create a smoother texture. I think it helps the flavors meld better, though some prefer a simpler sauce.
