This isn't actually true. It's the case for traditional tube and class D amplifiers, but companies are making multi-channel amps with different output wattage for the side and rear channels.
You can find an example at

Unfortunately I don't have a good enough understanding of electronics to understand this concept even though several people tied to explain it to me on AVS.
