I just tried out Private Spaces btw, and it is rather confusing... more so than the other types, as it also lets you hide it and then I can't seem to figure out how to show it again. 🤕
It seems to me like these are 3 radically different UIs for the same type of feature...
It's probably not something you'll consider (as it would require a lot of work undoing what Google did), but if I were to try to simplify all of this while retaining the features people want, I would remove both Private Spaces and Work Profiles, and work only with "User Profiles" - but enhance this feature. This way there is only one word and concept to use when communicate the idea of "more isolation" to users.
For example, to get the same type of effect that you get from Word Profiles and Private Spaces, I'd use some type of container UI metaphor - similar for example to the Bubble UI that apps like Slack supports, where little bubbles hover over an already-running app. This would allow easy clipboard sharing with apps running in a different User Profile without the need for resorting to the user of different concepts and vocab like "Private Spaces" and "Work profiles", while still offering those same features.
