It's the plugin author's decision, really, but the "replicate audio
but
single set of controls" is the 99% case.
Yes, most importantly it lets you handle the cases that the host can't
eg. multichannel compression. I guess reverb would be another example,
but I don't know how multichannel reverb works.
In that situation, offering per-channel controls makes no sense.

Though in the latter case, it's probably best to
just instantiate
the
thing twice as hosts currently do (and will likely need to implement
regardless).
Or ganging the control ports?
