It is likely for practical reasons - easier to place, more heatsink area, easier to repair/troubleshoot, shorter speaker cables, etc.It's hard for me to imagine that two boxes of the same size would be easier to place than one box in a room. The advantage of greater heatsink area seems lower in the case of Class D amps. As for repair, isn't it more likely that a mechanical problem will arise with two separate mono amps, with separate power supplies, than a single stereo amp?
Is There A Reason for Mono Amps for Ultra-low Noise Class D Modules?
With ultra-low noise Class D modules, like the Purifi Eigentakt, would there still be an audible benefit to having two mono amps, as oppose to two modules in the same case? Or is it really just an aesthetic preference?
Note, I'm not asking about the advantages and disadvantages of Class D versus Class A or A/B.
