why in the world should existing databases get damaged by another one?

it is the main job of a db-server to offer as many databases/users/tables
as needed and since if you are using MyISAM each database have it's own
folder which you can even copy offline to any other server how should
any damage be technically possible only because one more db?

stats of one of our mysql-servers:
* databases: 195
* tables: 4652
* records: 329049
