The question is: what was the reason to use tablespaces in Oracle?

Most of the time I see an Oracle installation with a tablespace per user, it's to manage space more easily.

As Postgres does not store data in one huge file, this is not really relevant here.
As soon as a table is dropped, the space is released from the filesystem.

So just create the users and let them use the default tablespace, unless you used the tablespaces
to distribute the I/O load to different disks.
