Plus SL land (ownership or renting) is cheaper (I'm guessing) than a renting a dedicated server (I'm fairly sure running OpenSim on a virtual/shared host would be met with a big resounding NO), and you don't need sys-admin skills in SL (or any other already existing grid), and SL has the largest user base meaning attracting users to your site is that little bit easier.
