That's because presenting the two media is done largely in the same way.

But because stereo is a more difficult medium to present and view (the
costs to the audience are considerable: glasses, goggles, viewers,
headaches, or whatever...) I think you have to make it worth the trouble.
When I go to the extra effort to look at a stereo photo, I do NOT want to
see flat scenery - I can enjoy that much more in a large fine print!
