[VLM]

I justify my sorta-bright idea by being an old married guy with two dressers in the bedroom, mine and hers. Do any married couples randomly intermix clothing, like all shirts go here, mine and yours, even the non-heteronormative couples? So it feels "natural" much as there's his and hers dressers to store clothes (and each kid, too) then the phone would have his and hers phone icons to store clothes, err, to store contact info for apps as per the article.

VLM does accept that this could be highly annoying to some people because VLM knows that some people consider it unholy annoying when other people refer to themselves in third person so VLM feels their pain and accepts that as a perfectly valid style disagreement.

Yes, and not even sorted by type. This is due more to limited space and getting bored half way through sorting things out and just shoving it all in rather than some thought through philosophy.

The main difference is that you share an actual, physical space with your wife and kids. So it makes sense that you have partitioned places for your stuff. I doubt you share actual, physical devices with your wife and kids, so it makes less sense. If it's your device, the interface can be specialized to you, and not have to present a generalized Your Family interface like your house does.

(You may see a deleted comment of mine; I re-read your top comment and the analogy clicked.)
