Also, closing one eye adds stress.

I think that's the important one. If you've become accustomed to shooting with both eyes open and your face relaxed, clamping one eye closed feels uncomfortable and unsustainable.
Unless you are one of the unfortunates who have a cross dominance problem, you are only going to really register the alignment of sights according to your dominant eye. When I am shooting at longer distances, I don't really "see" or focus on the entire image within the scope, but am intensely interested in the alignment of the crosshairs or post with a small area of the target.
If you've any doubt about the superiority of shooting with both eyes open, take a couple of hours with a scoped 22lr and try a session with one eye closed. I believe you will find it uncomfortable.
