The articles are based on the premise of building a server which typically hosts applications, services, databases, etc. and is not the architecture you need when building a home machine with a few guest OS's for home type usage.
Whoops, no, I just misunderstood the article, thanks for the explanation. I thought it was suggesting you should always have a separate NIC for the Host OS and the guest OS, even in a home machine.
