but.... in some positions even if pawns are on both sides knights can win

this is because for suppose take a bishop as a light squared one and let the pawns be on dark squares

by this, they would be a massive disadvantage for the bishop as it cant defend those pawns

so that, knights can jump onto those pawns and can win easily

Nice point !!

Knights are harder to predict, so in the endgame I always prefer the jumpy knight over a predictable bishop...
