That jives with my experience in NYC.
Caveat: I haven't spent much energy trying to have wings - I enjoy rolling solo.
My friends that have game, and we're equals, we've gotten lucky in finding a similar pair of girls. Otherwise we'd be taking laps on our own.
[Ironically I rarely go out with those game-having-friends, they are friends from another area of my life. The first time I did and we all pulled, I was laughing inside at how I wasted this 'resource' during earlier years. Didn't matter though -- I was happy to have those friends in the capacity they were already in.]
My friends that don't really have game, I pretty much accept I'm just generating "girl talk practice" if I mack it while they are in tow, due to what you wrote. (Though I've definitely gotten day2-lays from that, where the girl in the group liked me and realized the rest of the group was never gonna click).

I suppose if I "wanted to roll with wings" I'd have more nuanced, varied opinions. But I mostly didn't care.
---
Also: I've had fun with spontaneous wings, guys I met randomly while out. Sometimes they are too much and I've had to ditch -- other times it's been fruitful.
---
A lot of this really depends on culture, city, personality, age, etc. In some college town, everyone rolls in some kind of a crew of similar-SMV like-minded pals.
In my city, it's much more varied. I also enjoy talking to groups and assimilating/extricating myself to taste.
