How many UNIX graphical workstations from Cray, SGI, Sun, NeXT do you think were multiuser in practice?

As for price, they were also not cheap to get.

You could probably say the same about any operating system, especially if you exclude the same human user operating in multiple roles.

Though in the Unix environment, additional user accounts and groups that don't actually correspond to separate humans have a lot of pragmatic uses.
