Are you talking about Country, City, or Comfort mode, or all three? Or are you talking about the monoscopic view option, which is true by default on Go?
Explorer's worlds are not full 3D models, they are ways to represent 360 images from Streetview that you can ride through. Country and City modes create models that you can continuously ride through, based on image and map data respectively. In contrast, Comfort mode is an 360 slideshow which has no distortion but by that token isn't continuous.
Monoscopic viewing means that both of your eyes get the same image, whereas in stereoscopic viewing they are offset based on the distance to things. Monoscopic therefore can reduce the sensation of depth artifacts, and also consumes a bit less battery which is helpful on the Go.
