Before proportionally spaced fonts, putting two spaces at the end of a
sentence gave a visual separation.  Still does, but with proportionally
spaced fonts it's needed less.

Any reason why two spaces?

Which is why publishers got away from it. Two characters is another
quarter inch, five is a word, and pretty soon you're talking inches of
column. Try it in a word processor sometime. Type a page with 2-space
and then search and destroy to 1-space and see how much shorter it gets.
