I think it's probably got more to do with the purpose of the database
and how desirable it is to have it self contained. Many installations
just use a single database but personally the software I'm involved in
has lots of databases. It makes a lot of sense to have everything
contained in a single location so backups can be done effortlessly
using standard tools.
