For the why, I'd at least add: some (better) guarantee of orthogonality, the comfort of containment in something easier to grasp (server vs namespace) and finally the ability to run 'any' OS.

Granted, for most of my needs, real virtualization is overblown, and namespace separation would be enough while conserving resources. Now, because I've an enormous amount of unused resources, I prefer to just use the more comfortable solution that better covers my needs.
