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.
