Being heads-up in cash situations, sure. But being multi-way in some situations can create certain types of scenarios where the amount of money already in the pot changes things if it's large relative to the stacks. Suppose we have a 9-handed SNG with no ante and the normal 50%/30%/20% payout structure. If everyone has the same stack size, at 10bb stacks, the button has the advantage as seen here. With 5bb stacks, the button also has an advantage as seen here. With 2bb stacks, the button again has an advantage as seen here. Notice how the advantage of the button over the UTG player gets smaller and smaller as stacks get smaller. Now look at this scenario, where we have 2bb stacks but also an ante that's 10% of the big blind. For this hand, UTG has an advantage against the button. However, the button will have the advantage of having to post the blinds last, so it's not as clear-cut.
