The philosophy behind it is when you close an eye you lose that sides peripheral you'll not be able to see an enemies coming from that side. Most people have no issue keeping both eyes open on lower variable Scopes, or red dots.
A lot of that entirely depends on shooters experience and eyes. I have no problem using a 3-9×40 (set on 9 power) scope at 50 yards, even on running game animals.
