Pin a app to the screen, so if you need to let someone use their phone they can't get super nosy.
owner account can have a work profile, separate apps, have two versions of the same app, or just put some apps behind another fingerprint/password (can be different then the main phone unlocks)
Multiple user accounts (totally different accounts, totally different apps) : great if you want to let a kid play games, or let someone search the internet, or if you want to be really clean and keep work apps totally different. Mostly useful on tablets to let multiple people share the tablet.
The ability to run open source apps from fdroid, newpipe is an amazing game changer for anyone who watches youtube. (no ads)
You can have a work profile as well as a private space account. I think the latter is a relatively new feature. Really useful if you want your dating apps or NSFW apps not tied to your personal account.
The only drawback is that the private space cannot use background services so you can't get notifications of hot MILFs in your area.
How do I do the multiple account thing

I use this pin feature when I give my phone to my kids. They can only use the pinned app and nothing else.
