Physical segregation of network segments with differing security
policies would be another. Admittedly, this is a philosophical
difference, but I typically don't keep network segments that have
different security stances on the same hardware if I can help it.
Multiple LAN segments can certainly share the same physical hardware and
just be segmented by VLANs, but I would shy away from having a LAN
segment and a DMZ segment on the same switch and sharing the same NIC on
the router/firewall.
