But that’s a very specific thing to adjust a benchmark for, what if I want to host 50 VMs on one server for example? Then the 100 core server would be much better than the 16 core server, even though it has a lower benchmark value.
It's not a "very specific" thing to adjust a benchmark for. It's the default case for practically all consumer workloads, and Geekbench is a consumer-focused benchmark.
