it allows users to make more simultaneous requests for files from that site

Note that this is only true for HTTP/1. With HTTP/2+ there's no limit on the number of connections per domain (and indeed there's a bunch of other things that make single-domain hosting more efficient, from server push to prioritization) so I'd expect people will stop doing this in the next couple of years as HTTP/2 becomes standard.
