Windows and MacOS are designed as single user systems. Unix and Linux are designed as multiuser systems. Configuring a Windows system for multiple concurrent users is quite painful. Configuring unix for a single user seems unnecessarily difficult. Interestly, when we did the B1/LSPP versions of unix the home directory model helped reduce the problem of user sensitivity restrictions by isolating the part of the directory hierarchy that had to be customized for the user.
