Why is 1 oz copper the standard in PCB designs?

Why is 1 oz of copper the standard or majorly used in various PCB boards. What will happen if I decide to use 2 oz copper In my design.
Solution
We won't say it's the standard, but its used often, using 2 oz of copper in your Design can increase the current carrying capacity of your board. Example if a 15mil copper trace can carry 1A of current at 1 oz copper.l, the same 15mil trace will carry 2A of current at 2 oz copper thickness
