Its a comfort and control thing. More fingers wrapped around the bar means a tighter grip and more control in a technical downhill, when youre throwing your weight around and tugging on the bars. So with one finger you can usually get adequate speed control while maintaining a strong hold on your bars.
I usually stick with two fingers personally, I like to feel floaty
