ASFAIR it used to be even worse than that, because if you didn’t want SNI (for compatibility reasons or whatever), but you still wanted a certificate, you had to have one server for every hostname (because each had its own IP), assuming you could afford the additional IP space
Granted you didn’t need a physical server, but that was still a bigger cost
Some servers are more flexible on that front, but early SNI didn’t have those
