What do you think of the philosophy of "Hosts have IP addresses, not interfaces"?

I've heard this a couple times, and it always refers to not be in a situation where multiple interfaces on one computer have different addresses, but rather the whole thing has one address and the interfaces are simply a means to access that address. However, it seems to only come into play with really basic networks (SOHO ones) or bleeding-edge dynamic routing meshes. What do you think of this?
