The reason for this is that I would like to utilize the same device for other purposes as wellI have 4 raspberries, 1 intel pc running ubuntu and a few mediaplayers of various brands in my home. While I enjoy the ubuntu server for its flexibility being the backbone of my virtual household, I learned to love those small devices dedicated for single tasks. With more stuff running on one system, you might introduce unforseen issues, bugs etc., so I'd vote for sticking to dedicated systems.
However you'd think 1 device doing 5 different things would use less power aka electricity aka cost less money in total than having 5 different devices each doing their own thing. Not a big difference probably but anyway.
