Andrew, avoiding effort is the only reason.  Setting up Apache and bind 
in jails on FreeBSD was not that easy the last time I tried it a few 
years ago, perhaps the User Manual has been clarified.

I am casting a line to see if there is a 'reasonably trusted' source of 
FreeBSD VMs, with jails configured, free for non-commercial use.   As 
for personal VMs, I would not trust just anyone's VM I would do some due 
diligence.

I appreciate the risks of running un-trusted code on processors.
