Honestly, the multiple profile feature seems like a total afterthought to Google. Even before 14, I experienced endless bugs running a second (work) profile, including the inability to receive incoming phone calls and text messages, odd crashes and freezes, and the launcher hanging fairly regularly.

Same, I once completely lost access to the work profile overnight on Android 12. It would not open anymore and a wipe was required

It's clear that they just do automated tests on code but not real life testing

FWIW GrapheneOS patched these storage bugs before they made it to their A14 beta.
