See gregmac's comment, it changes the failure modes and makes what could be isolated subsystem failures larger regional failures. However, components are also becoming much more reliable so this is an engineering tradeoff. Cases can be made in both directions.

EDIT: That's not the only tradeoff, but it is a key one.
