I think you're confusing very common for a tech guy and very common for the common man. I have a dozen or two v4 subnets in my house. Then again, I also run my ISP out of my house, so I have a ton of stuff going on. I can't even think of a handful of other people that would have more than one.

Personal-area networks already exist. Phone/watch/laptop etc.
Virtual machines are common, e.g. for running multiple different operating
systems on your computer.
And automotive networks need connectivity.
There are often separate VLANs for VOIP and IP TV and smart meters.
Separate wifi networks tuned for low-latency synchronized audio.
So it's very common to have multiple networks in a home with multiple
layers of routing.
