Profiles are used for these situations:
- You want to run a separate VPN configuration for apps.
- You need to separately encrypt certain data with different keys, and have them be placed at-rest even when the device (Owner profile) is in 'AFU'.
- You want to restrict inter process communications between apps.
- You want to run multiple unique instances of one app.
- You want a large group of app data and files you can delete in a button press but not factory reset the device.
Ideally, you want to use as little profiles as possible unless the purpose is for one of these five. You'll overcomplicate things otherwise by having to swap profiles all the time. Most people use a profile to separate apps for privacy invasive services they want to use or for any apps requiring sandboxed Google Play. Some may also use it to separate identities or online profiles. There isn't an ideal way, just things you can do to keep it sensible.
