Profiles currently are about the user specific information of the goodreads account, their shelves, and any actions associated with those shelves. But anything that is a checkbox on those shelf action dialogs like "upload rating" etc refers back to the shared set of configured columns which is the "Synchronisable Custom Columns" section on the main dialog.
No-one has ever asked for anything different before this. TBH I'm not sure how many users actually use that multi-user functionality (I don't use it myself).
Should it be changed? Thinking about it now I think probably it should. After all if the goal is to allow different family members to have their own date read and rating for a book (and hence unique columns) all managed from one calibre library then I can see that being desirable. Otherwise the multi-user aspect of this plugin really only works for people whose family members all read a unique set of books.
However finding the time to change it - that is another thing altogether
