I think the author is advocating that those scenarios should converge. His argument is that second scenario is an anti-pattern and should be corrected to be more inline. It might be a pipe dream, but it's still his perspective.

They serve different needs. The second scenario may well be better served by moving towards the first, but that's not a quick project, especially when uptime and reliabiity is important. Even with that, the for the third scenario a full VM infrastructure may by overkill. This whole topic can be summed up with "Examine your needs, examine your options, make the best choice you can at the time, try to make your life easier by leaving pathways to change your choice with the least problems based on expected future needs." Just because someone looks to be doing something similar to you, doesn't mean their needs and constraints aren't quite different. I think this is the big thing most people miss.
