There are a number of disadvantages to that method.
Expense, complications, and reduced resources, to
begin with. Then there are security issues. For instance,
if you don't want to run Win10 because of the spyware it's
not going to help to run XP in Win10.

It's a great idea for someone like a commercial programmer
who needs to test software on multiple systems. But for
someone who just wants a computer it's ridiculously wasteful.
