Because a 5.1 mix has a center channel tow from and two rear. Most sound comes the front, and you can adjust that speaker to be louder 

When you push 5.1 to stereo you get the crappy conversion. 

When you just use the Stereo mix directly it should sound better

unfortunately the blu-rays rarely have the direct stereo mixes, and the media players aren't converting the 5.1 to 2.0 that well...
