Second, regardless of some thoughts on panning stereo signals, the balance of L&R is not kept in the stereo field as well as two mono signals, nor is there as much control over the L&R signals when grouped.

Not all of us who use mono tracks mix in mono <grin>
Got nothing to do with being bugged by seeing it.
