Ubuntu 12.04 brings some significant improvements to multi-monitor support, it permits to see Launcher on every monitor.

I have two monitor and Launcher compares on the left of both monitors, but launcher in the middle would cause problems for me.

I want launcher for each monitor: only if the user can choose the position of the launcher separately for both monitors.

For me, the best solution is: left monitor-launcher left, right monitor-launcher right.

Is there any technical reason for make it not customizable?

Well! I personally thought it could be a wrong design in an extended desktop where in the middle of the desktop, a launcher is present.
Yet, notice that the launcher has new settings :

Ubuntu 12.04 Appearance settings

The reveal sensitivity allows you to adjust how much the launcher is sensitive to your mouse crossing. The higher, the more you have to push the mouse against the launcher to reveal it.
While auto-hide is activated, and about 27 % of reveal sensitivity, you can surf your mouse from the left external monitor to the right one or the opposite, easily without accidently revealing the launcher.
Check the poll, if you want to vote for this option.
