I think mostly for fill.
As an example, 1080 prepreg starts at about 3.5 mils and after pressing is about 2.5 mils.
This means there is about 0.5 mils per side to fill in etched areas on adjacent layers.
That is less than 1/2 oz copper (currently IPC considers 1.2 mil thickness  per oz).
Poor fill will aid in delamination and poor reliability.
Use of 2 sheets will allow more resin to flow towards needed fill areas giving better bonding.
Also resin content on thinner prepregs is usually higher allowing more resin flow to use for fill

A Designers understanding of why

Subject: [TN] PCB dielectric - 2 layers prepreg

Hi All,
		In one of the Class 3/A Exception Requirements, it
indicates that for "Dielectric Thickness of 0.089 mm [0.0035 in] minimum
with 2 layers prepreg if not specified on drawing.", what is the reason
to use 2 layers prepreg, what is the advantage over a single layer?
Thanks.

Regards
GA Tan
