There is no
"sole purpose" to the account sharing than trying to balance
and adapt with what we perceive as user expectations. We've had many
discussions with people on and off line -- if there would be one easy
obvious solution we'd maybe go for it ;)
And I, for one, would like to hear and discuss with these people...where are
they?
On Github, the support forum, this mailing list, IRC and then at physical
user-testing sessions like we did at 35c3 end december 2018 in Leipzig,
apart from discussions with friends who use it on a daily basis. It's
a pretty wild mix of communication channels.
The only community contact we had on the topic was
back on this list, and
quite some persons were engaged in the discussion, but at the end we had a
"roger" from your side with the intent of suspend the decision after the
last October meeting...and after silence now we have a new major release
focused on UI polishing. The community process over engagement and
discussion is pretty opaque!
Marco, i posted here

and here

to be clear: shared accounts are fully supported, in fact improved (but not perfect,
surely!).
It was only this mailing list where we discussed "moving to dedicated accounts"
and we eventually reversed our direction after the initial feedback round here.
With Bjoern i dedicated several days in person together sorting out the Shared Account
usage logic and code ... in response to the feedback here. If we didn't report
earlier
here on the mailing list it's because there are also a myriad of other
communications, organizations and coding to do.
best,
