Is there any point in subnetting outside of a VLAN?

If you can have 4096 VLANs, why would you have multiple subnets? Does anyone actually have 4096 VLANs? Why don't we all just use class A networks with 8 mask bits? That way, you have a huge number of hosts per subnet, and if you need another subnet you just create another VLAN for it.

What am I missing here?
