I use more than one bitcoin address, because its more secure so you cannot get hacked.
Many people are doing I also have multiple steps to login in my wallets, so it cannot get hacked easy.

Most people btw have at least 50 addresses - clients generate them ahead of time, you just don't see them until you need them.
For example, when you ask bitcoin core to make a new payment address for you, the one it gives you it made some time ago and the one it makes you don't see, just added to the cue.
This is done so that when you back your wallet, it backs up addresses you haven't used yet.

A bitcoin address is an invoice number. It's a way to keep track of a specific payment request. Therefore, it doesn't make any sense to re-use bitcoin addresses. I use a new address for every transaction, so by now I probably have several hundred bitcoin addresses.
That's a great way to explain it! I to have several hundred addresses from different transactions.
Except it doesn't include donation addresses which usually are re-used, unlike invoice numbers.

I have 4 wallets, 2 online wallets for daily use and 2 cold wallets for storing my bitcoins.

I have around 5 or so offline and use only 3 active addresses across different devices. This is of course not including any auto generated change addresses.

I have around 6-7 addresses in blockchain.info, The reason of it being more than one is nothing specific, It's easy and simple to generate a new address and wanted a bigger variety IMO.

I have few addresses in different wallet types. I always prefer to have more wallets than sticking with a single wallet. I believe this is minimizing my risk even with cold storage. I do have exact address count.

Several, some have only a little bit. I like that some wallets give you a new address everytime for new transactions. Just feels better to not have everything in one place.

i used to have around 5 to 8 different bitcoin addresses as cold wallet, but i have sent all the coins in these addresses to just 3 wallets just to make it easy to manage. and for sending and receiving transactions i nowadays use a different bitcoin address every time. if you have a lot wallets it takes quite a bit of your time to make different backups of all the addresses.

I have quite a few bitcon address. I use one for each transaction. I will not use the address for long time to have privacy.

When whatching some videos about bitcoin i came to know there is lots of address can be made for bitcoin almost unlimited. So creating many addresses doesn't seem to affect bitcoin network.
I have around 3 address 2 of those are cold wallet address and 1 main everyday hot wallet. I have Cold wallet to store in safer place and stop me from spending madly in gamblings.
How much bitcoin address do you have and why you have to create more than one address?

>100. Because I can not imagine how you keep track of things with just a single address. For every deal (except low value) I generate a new address and usually for long term deal (e.g. sig campaigns) a new address monthly. When I see an incoming payment on the address I labeled with "vanitygen Quickseller x 20" I know who paid me for what. How do you do this with just a single address?
The other thing is, with the high number of addresses its difficult for someone to know how much bitcoin I have in total. If you just have a few its pretty easy to find them.
What I do is also pretty much it. I have several adresses in my Mycellium wallet, and for each one I have a proper tag that helps me readily identify where those transactions are coming from.

I also have more addresses, but I found the highest challenge is not linking my adresses together when spending. Doable, but it needs additional effort.

i have multiple addresses that i have lost count of them. they are mostly from old addresses that i have used over the years.
i also have around 10 fixed addresses for cold storage, receiving faucet payouts, receiving other payments like signature campaing and an address to spend from on my online wallet.
