ATMOS is a new way of doing things, where the object's position is recored and your hardware can adapt to it based on its configuration.
This is infinitely better than shipping stereo, 5.1, 7.1 etc hardcoded mixes and switching between them. Now you only need to ship ONE spatial track (ok, multiple because of things like TrueHD, but you only have one spatial variant per-quality-tier).
ATMOS means you can have 1 set of media that scales from 1 to N speakers seamlessly.

Atmos was shoved into setups that it does not belong.
