I think OP's point is that many users aren't pushing machines to the limit or saturating 10g links. They just need the equivalent of a several-year-old desktop to run a webserver or whatever. Consumer-grade colo.

I completely understand that, but you concentrate these small loads to more powerful servers, so you can colocate ~50 small VMs to one gigantic server (in comparison).

When you squeeze 50 low-pressure VMs to a single VM, they become a one high-pressure load.

Hence, you need enterprise level hardware to be able to provide these low-cost, eh performance VMs to masses.
