I make use of multiple user accounts for myself. Every computer has at least 3: root, personal, and work. I don't really understand why it's not more common to maintain separate work and personal logins but I do recommend it. One of the computers also has a local login for a family member, for when they want to use it.

For your bonus question: I run GrapheneOS and as of now I have 8 user accounts. This might be a bit much for most people. The idea is that my main personal and work accounts use exclusively open source apps, and any context which demands proprietary apps gets siloed off somewhere. Two of the user accounts have google services framework installed, but neither is logged in to the play store.

The reason that the phone is more complex is that I am essentially never forced to use proprietary apps on my desktops, there has always been a way to work around it. But not so on the phone.

that's an interesting approach. I use different devices for work and personal because the corporate spyware scares me.

recently they started to allow us to RDP into compliant machines so I only use the personal device.
