This example was comparing that of separate hand typed sites (the cost) vs. a single site using language files or a database

This can be advantageous however look closely at large sites or complex sites an example being WHMCS or a knowledgebase where by a language dropdown is provided supplied by language files or a database. However the use of multiple domains/sites can be if done incorrectly damaging toward your ranking and the desired effect can be achieved via Google’s webmaster tools, the more prominent reason for the example is the cost that could be placed into marketing for example to boost SEO and Conversion rates.
