Can you elaborate? This might be true but I don’t think it’s self-evidently obvious.
In fact it could in some ways be a disadvantage; as Cole Wyeth notes in a separate top-level comment, “There are probably substantial gains from diversity among humans”. 1.6 million identical twins might all share certain weaknesses or blind spots.
The main advantage is that you can immediately distribute fine-tunes to all of the copies. This is much higher bandwidth compared to our own low-bandwidth/high-effort knowledge dissemination methods.
The monolithic aspect may potentially be a disadvantage, but there are a couple of mitigations:
AGI are by definition generalists
you can segment the population into specialists (see also this comment about MoE)
Having 1.6 million identical twins seems like a pretty huge advantage though.
