Put your headphones next to the TV and sit on your couch. Now tell me how good they sound from across the living room, probably you can’t hear them or you hear a faint noise you can’t really understand.

Sound is air that is moving and headphones being so close to your ear require to move WAY LESS air so one driver (or two depending on headphones) are able to get the job done. But when sitting across the living room, you need to move A LOT of air, so multiple drivers are useful.
