This seems to go contrary to the idea of managed processes. Wasn't Heroku supposed to abstract the idea of host all together ?

It is still abstracted, nothing changes from the point of view of most applications.
It just opens more possibilities and increases the isolation.
From the article:
> A dyno should let you run any application or set of processes that you would run on your local machine or on an old-school server.
As soon as you allow multiple processes per dyno the abstraction becomes less clear. It means that now a dyno is more like a small VPS and I have to know which process is on which dyno for communication.
