Having worked at different companies adopting both monorepo and the multiple repos approach, I find monorepo a better normalizer at scale in consolidating all "software" that runs the company. Just like what many commenters here have mentioned, the monorepo approach is a forcing function on keeping compatibility issues at bay. What you don't want is to end up in a situation where teams reinvent their own wheels instead of building on top of existing code, and at scale, I think the multiple repo approach tends to breed such codebase smell.
