Many HomeLabs are running vSphere because their owners are IT Pro's who use the platform in their day jobs and the HomeLab is used for learning and research purposes.

Expanding one's skills or testing knowledge in lab/non-production environment.  Motivating factors include studying to master certification exams, such as the VMware Certified Professional (VCP), or other non-VMware exams where virtualization offers benefit by running multiple machines on single desktop or laptop.
