Maybe I'm just being slow this morning, but isn't the fullstop the indication of the end of the sentence?

What extra information is encoded by fullstop + 2 spaces?

The period also indicates the previous word was abbreviated, or can be used in an ellipsis, probably other situations that aren't top of mind right now.
