You have less controls for the codec -> easier for users.
Users still can adjust the left/right differently if they want.

In most cases you change both left/right channel:
amixer sset 'PCM' 8 # left/right volume is 8

but users can set different volume per channel:
amixer sset 'PCM' 8,1 # left volume is 8, right is 1

it is better than:
amixer sset 'PCM Left' 8 # left volume is 8
amixer sset 'PCM Right' 8 # left volume is 8

or
amixer sset 'PCM Left' 8 # left volume is 8
amixer sset 'PCM Right' 1 # left volume is 1
