This one is an arbitrary language tweak.  This:

	to protect VMs from malicious host and certain physical attacks.

could also be written:

	to protect VMs from malicious host attacks and certain physical
	attacks.

But, it's somewhat more compact to do what was writen.  I agree that the
language is a bit clumsy and could be cleaned up, but just doing
s/host/hosts/ doesn't really improve anything.
