> why wouldn't you create separate users for work and personal lives?

Because it's a pain in the ass and only advantageous in very specific work life scenarios that a lot of people don't fall under.

Why would you assume one size fits all, so to speak?

I've tried the multi-user approach, and it is annoying when you install something in $HOME/bin rather than /usr/local/bin so that you have to go back and re-install globally or install again to local. You really have to remind yourself that it isn't just a different project. As with most things in life, practice/repetition makes it easier. You just need to decide if it is worth it
