From what I read there really isn't an advantage in hollow point.

That's horribly incorrect.

Bullet becoming wider has the drawback of lower penetration.

That's perhaps the #1 reason to carry hollow points for self defense reasons, reducing the risk of overpenetration. Do you even physics, bro?

The alternative is firing a solid ball at an attacker, and that ball passing right through the target and into other people, or in a home defense situation, that solid ball passing right through the target and punching through several walls and potentially into other dwellings.

Ok fine. I just did some research and I was wrong. HP penetrate deep enough and FMJ have great risk of overpenetration.
