It would be very awkward, even if you had multiple user accounts. How do you deal with things like notifications on the lock screen for messages, which can be very personal. There is so much personal stuff on my iPad, it would be like sharing a toothbrush. Sure, you could do it, but why would you ever want to ?
Computers have become deeply personal devices, to the point that having to keep personal stuff off them would negate a lot of their utility. Is there still a point to having shared computers ? Do people still do that ? Even my parents, who are in their late 60's and care little about technology both have their own personal laptops.

Presumably on a theoretical multi-user iPad, it'd do Face ID and then show me _my_ lock screen messages and not anyone else's who happens to have an account. Sharing a computer doesn't mean keeping personal information off of it, it just means you want a device that respects your personal information and keeps it private (non-readable by other user accounts) by default.
