This removes the special case which assumed unity gain when reproducing mono files on a stereo system. ITU-R BS.1770 however specifies a channel weight of 0dB for left, right and centre, regardless of the total channel count. Tech 3344 6.16 mentions a 3dB attenuation to maintain the loudness level of a mono audio signal in multi-channel signals, and Tech 3343-2016 further specifies that "Ideally, a downmix operation should be loudness-agnostic".
