Its cheaper to own/maintain 50 servers, rather than 100 servers. Running 2-processes per server is just cheaper.
You have half the motherboards, your RAM is consolidated, your SSDs / Hard Drives / Ethernet ports are consolidated. This leads to lower power and more efficiency (its easier for threads to migrate over if possible).
