It's true that position is more valuable in 3 bet pots (assuming 100 bb stacks), but this is NOT because your options are decreased.
The greater the size of the pot, yes the greater the absolute value of position. But the greater the size of the pot relative to the eff stacks, the less valuable position is. This is because as (eff stacks/ pot size) decreases, so the importance of implied odds and position goes down.
That's why many people correctly prefer to make larger size 3 bets oop than ip.
