I'm not sure it's a new trend, but it has some use cases, yes.
I think it was once more urgent than it is now, where some
servers do the aggregation from multiple sources themselves.

In the Eglot Github page there are a few discussions: the biggest
use case I've seen described is for JavaScript which normally
wants to have EsLint linting and also other types of servers.  But I
think this also makes sense more generally.  A spell-checking server
could go hand-in-hand with multiple programming servers.
