Yeah, I can understand the intention behind it, but at the end of the day, it still means that that person has an advantage over someone else who might want different 'aesthetics' but doesn't want to cheat to do so.
They have to use lair tabs and descriptions, etc... spending more money to get more lair space (unless the multi is maxxed out on all accounts)to still have fewer dragons for each 'aesthetic' than the multi, and don't have the benefit of having multiple nests in multiple elements.
I also have the feeling that the truly 'my accounts never interact' multis are rare. I am just going by how I would feel, and I know others have more willpower than me, but I could imagine that the pressure of knowing 'I need an X nest for this pair, and hey I have an account with that element!' and not having to worry about your dragons being 'stolen' (whether intentionally or not), or the idea that 'I have an X on my other account, and I need it for my HibDen task... it is so expensive I don't want to have to buy it!' would be intense, and many people would just go 'well it is just one item!' or 'well, it is just one nest!' and have their accounts interact that way.
It wouldn't be 'funneling', but it is still having their accounts interact, and them having the advantage of having multiple gathering turns/pink visits/fairgrounds maxes/etc... a day that other players don't.
