Big box VM host running several VMs, hardware starts to fail, brings the entire setup to its knees. That wouldn't happen if you had each VM running on its own physical hardware, unless the UPS/PDU died...
VMs are able to live migrate these days. Single VM has a lot more uptime guarantee than a distributed system with multiple over the network communication layers.
