Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Monster House feature 3D Blu-Rays include the 2D versions by extracting the 2D cores from the 3D encodes. So its definutely possible.
However studios have a mindset that more discs equals more value and thus more sales. They use separate discs to give themselves an excuse to jack up the price. Though all 3D discs can extract a 2D core its possible for a studio to lock this ability in order to justify 2 unessesary encodes. Same reason studios include DVD and digital copies on separate discs.
