This largely has to do with Linux's relationship to Unix. Unix itself was a multi-user operating system built for mainframes and minicomputers.
For practical purposes, however, multi-user operating systems are probably the most useful nowadays when it comes to systems where more than one user will be on the same system at the same time. Servers most frequently use this but a Linux desktop may also use this in cases where another user might run an X session remotely off the same machine or SSH in.
