[Closed] Why is 2x10 considered an improvment on 3x9?

Why are 2 x 10 setups considered an improvement on 3 x 9? I want to shift up and down the full range of my 9 sprocket cassette with the speed and assurance only the rear derailler can provide. That covers 95% of my riding. Occasionally I need to shift to the granny ring for technical or extreme climbs or to the big ring if I'm on the road or need to stand up and blast on flat off road. What's the logic of essentially splitting my gears in two, forcing me to do a chainring shift to access either end of my previously easily accesible ratios? Are we sure the marketing men aren't driving this one?
