You said that one reason to use multiple processes was to avoid I/O
blocking. I pointed out that that isn't a good reason, in and of
itself, and now you seemingly agree that that isn't a good reason --
but then you go on to question why I mention it.  I'm a little lost as
to your point.  You agree that my pointing out my flaw in your
argument is correct, but then you wonder why I pointed out a flaw in
your argument.   So, I'm confused.
