Why even be so excited over having root access in exchange for performance?

Just curious why people get so excited over VPS when it's just slower and less reliable than a quality shared server.
My shared host is not going to allow:

VPN server,
Game server,
Email server,
Program testing
VOIP servers
Linux or bsd playing,

and much more.

Shared hosting works fine for all of my blogs, but some websites I own that host video and get a good amount of traffic would not work for a shared host...not to mention I can control what's installed (ffmpeg and other things).
