29er rims, like dedicated road rims come in different widths. Lots of 19mm (inside dimension, aka ETRTO) options. By comparison, HED Belgium rims are 17.5 and a lot of standard road rims are 15mm. 19mm works will with 32mm tires and OK with 28s. The Hed Belgiums are awesome for many reasons, one of which is they work great with 28s.
MTBers realized a long time ago that fat tires used tubeless at low pressure work better on rims wider than 19. Manufacturers are catching up and providing more wide options. The other variables of course are tubeless and rim brake vs. disc only.
