You only need per process memory protection, the actual location in memory
is entirely arbitrary. In fact sharing data at different addresses in
different memory spaces is a big pain in the ass ... you cant share data
with embedded non relative pointers.

There's a lot of microkernels meant for 64 bit architectures which use a
global address space in fact.

Why?
