I think you're confusing very common for a tech guy and very common for

can't
even think of a handful of other people that would have more than one.


My son (who is not a tech guy but is a gamer) has four subnets in his
(rented) house already: private LAN, guest network, home control network,
and a separate LAN for the tenant downstairs who is sharing their broadband
connection. And he's just getting started.

The "common man" is becoming much more sophisticated in their networking
requirements, and they need this stuff to just work. Please don't place
artificially small limits just because you can't see a need.
