I mean that BeOS didn’t have a way to login as separate people and use the same computer at different times with a clear separation of access rights. Mac OS X did, like most Unix or Unix-related OSes.

It’s not about simultaneous use, but standard user management, access control, and permissions.

Though yes, technically this also allows multiple to access it simultaneously via ssh and other things that’s not the important part for IT in this instance.
