Well, doesn't to be that cheap. But a dedicated host is not a reasonable 
requirement. The problem as I see it is that many users/customers have 
no idea what a) Typo3 really requrires and b) their ISP offers.

My experience is that ISP advertise something like Mysql and PHP. No 
version numbers given, etc. You have to enquire, struggle with support, 
etc. The less demanding, the lass hassle.

And the term "enterprise class" does not justify wasting of resources. 
Clean OO structures may introduce overhead, but it's mostly the quick 
and simple approaches that waste memory, etc. No offend meant to Typo3 
with this comment.
