Excellent point, of course. Hardware-wise, it would be no problem to
have separate computers, each performing just one of those functions.

What they hope to minimize is uncertainty. As in, e.g.:

- which combination of software firewall etc.. is guaranteed to work
  together without problems, has the best documentation to set it up
  that way, and possibly one integrated interface to at least
  monitoring /reporting everything that is happening and ought to be
  done
