You lost me at "common VM".

We currently have some of the fastest VMs in the world as a direct 
result of strong competition between VMs. Even better, the VMs are 
healthily stealing good ideas from each other as all of them are open 
source. So far we've had the best possibly outcome and I wonder what 
there could possibly be to gain from consolidation.
