Do all adults in your party use their own MDE?

So I have always gone to Disney with family that is also very into Disney planning (sister/parents/friends/etc) and one person in each "group" had their own MDE account. Sometimes this was up to three different accounts we would link together for our trips.
I am going in a couple weeks with a close friend and her family and as the token Disney "expert" in the group, I am the only one with an MDE. I made accounts for them on my MDE and made all of the reservations and park passes, etc. I offered to help her set up her own MDE but she didn't have any interest. Was happy to have me organize the planning.
Any major downsides to this? Aside from not having another person in the party try for RotR? I have an annual pass, so will send the the photos as we get them (no need for them to buy memory maker). Her husband is very tech focused, but also didn't seem super interested in having the MDE.
Now that everything is set, I imagine it would be a big hassle to separate them and their tickets off of my account and then have them linked?
What do you all do in situations like this?
 
It really doesn't matter one way or the other. It cleaner with everyone one a single MDE account (no hassle getting accounts linked, or stuff not showing up for someone). The only downside I've ever experienced is now that they're on your account, you can't get rid of them. You can call Disney IT and they can delete them, but it's an inconvenience.

Because of Mobile Ordering, everyone will have their own MDE app on their phones for our upcoming trip. I may be paying for all the meals, but I'm not running around taking everyone's order.
 

When I made our ADRs at the 60-day mark, I found it helped to have at least one other MDE account for our group of 10 because I ended up having to split the dining reservations into 4/6 to be able to get everything we wanted. The system wouldn't allow me to make both overlapping ADRs from my account. Might be a moot point for you since you're going in a couple of weeks, but wanted to mention it.
