i agree with you 100%.
op inferred that i told him to put everything in 1 partition, which
i did not. so i was just telling him if he wanted to be 'old school'
he could partition what every his heart desired. ;-)
for my 'base' os partitioning is /boot, swap, /, /home.
all additional installs are /, swap, /home. after install if/and
install part 2 boot, i restart to base, i log in as root, copy
grub.conf into /grub of base /boot as grub.conf-newosname. then i
cut/paste lines into my main grub.conf. make notations in 'title'
line. next i copy base /root files that customize user root so i
have same 'root' operation across all installs. the i reboot to
new install and set it up.

only way i have done it from many years back.
