By having less users per server you reduce the amount of potential problems that could occur. Sudden traffic bursts, attacks or unstable code can affect performance, uptime & security to some degree.
Less is more in this case.
Having control over the system software & optimizations can allow you to make tweaks & optimizations to make things just right.
In a dedicated environment more customizations are allowed, resulting in the system to operate smoothly with your software & stack.
The allowance for sudden growth is imperative for most businesses and being in a multitenant environment (shared) leaves little room to grow suddenly. When using shared, every other user is taken into equal consideration -- if your site is suddenly using too much resources it means that suspension could occur.
In semi-dedicated & dedicated environments less users mean more room to grow suddenly without suspension.
Sports cars vs. school busses. Less users means more resources available when your website needs it.
Less users means we can customize things to meet your security needs. Shared environments also open up a whole new slew of potential exploits as more users per system mean more vectors for exploitation.
It all depends on how much risk you wish to inherit.
In a dedicated environment there is more often than not less to attack leaving you less to worry about.
Less users often means higher uptime — in a shared environment a single runaway piece of software can often bog the system down, whereas in a dedicated environment there's less that could affect your applications & software.
