Multi-user support is _never_ going to be implemented in iOS devices. There is a slim chance for iPadOS.

The amount of people who actually need a multi-user phone/tablet is a fraction of a fraction of the 600M userbase of Apple devices.

huh, what do you mean by that? multiuser support in ios has been there for ages already.
So there is a an OS level interface to change between multiple users, each with a separate profile isolated from the others?

Where?

Basically, the OS level interface is there, and you are not allowed to use it if you are neither a school nor an enterprise.

edit: i agree with your “won’t happen” sentiment, its just that this is a pure iOS licensing restriction.
