i am one that does not use multi quote. I did for a bit but that caused confusions with some members who due to many problems thought I was directing my replies to each of the quotes to only one member. I very quickly went back to doing individual postings so that everyone knew what my posts were about and who I was directing my replies to.
besides this problem I sometimes have trouble with the english language. I use translators. the translators that I use do not understand multi quoting when I am doing my replies. in order for me to write a reply with a quote I have to click on the reply button not the multi quote button.
another thing is sometimes I use my cell phone... my cell phone does not recognize the multi quote button. I only see the reply button with my cell phone..
My point is there probably is many reasons why a person doesnt use or cant use the multi quote button, and it isnt always because they dont know how to use it. it all depends upon ones own preferences, and ones own devices that are being used to post on psych central.
I am glad though that you enjoy using it.

I also don't use multi quote
I'll quote one of the messages, and then either put at the bottom at such and such a user, (post what I want), or start a new reply
plus I've been known to make multiposts in 1 thread at a time, threads like the coping with emotions thread, " tell us about your bad times", just because I think each individual story deserves it's own post
no issue with that
just out of curiosity, what is multiquote and how does it work

Multiquote is the button at the bottom right of a post that has the quotation marks and plus sign. Click on it, and it turns red. Then when you've finished selecting all the posts you want to quote, go to the bottom left of the page and click Add Reply. All of the quotes you've selected will appear in the reply window. I quoted several posts here to demonstrate.
Everyone has presented very good reasons why people don't do this. It can be confusing if you're responding to one person, and another person thinks you mean them. The feature might not be available on a phone, as opposed to a computer. And sometimes the poster feels that each one is worthy of its own post instead of a shared post.
Thanks, everyone, for telling me about that. It would have bugged me, and I wouldn't have understood the reasons.
