No, it didn't. Some separated services that way, but it was never any more necessary than it is now. Source: used to run an ISP through the early days of the web, and collocated services on the same host all the time.
The idea of the commenter I replied to that you 'had to' have a separate host or interface for each service is flat out false.
When people split it, it was over capacity or manageability concerns, but often we also set up separate hostnames for different services just because it was what people expected; often it pointed to the same hosts.
