Isn't a VLAN at the switch level achieving the same thing as subnetting at the router level?

In some ways, you achieve isolation between ports at that Level, but that's about it. There are too many differences between the levels of isolation and the actual mechanics to say they are the same per-se.

There is an analogy to be drawn between them, but they are definitely not the same thing.
