It is not inherently better. 2 channel is a dying form of entertainment. The 'dead cat bounce' is no reason to believe that it is being resuscitated by the Cro-Magnons. I have subscribed to Hi-Fi pubications since 1965, have sold equipment in specialty stores and still buy hard/software.
The principle reason that 2channel is inferior is that it is essentially an anti-social medium. Only one person can sit in the sweet spot. Frequently you can not even move your head to maintain the illusion of dimensionality. It lives on with mostly regurgitated recordings.
If you want good two channel, buy quality earphones sit on a sub-woofer and be done with it.
