It's not only about the stereo image, it's also to do with the soundfield and depth of sound. You've got two eyes, so why don't you watch two TVs simultaneously?
I'm not knocking 2.1 though, a good sound system is a good system whatever it is. I personally prefer the immersive sensation of surround, a stereo rendering would highlight different audio aspects and would be...well...different. Not better or worse, just different, as it's downmixing 5.1 channels of sound to just 2.1 (or just 2).
Like I say, not knocking anyone here, but saying you only need stereo as you only have two ears is kind of missing the point and is a self-defeating argument.
