Because some people like to keep things separate, for instance, a seprate wallet to save bitcoin, one to use on a daily basis, one to gamble.
These are just examples as to why some people prefer to use multiple wallets.

only in my mobile i have installed 4 wallet, because i don't like to put all my btc in a sigle wallet, the same for the exchange i use about 3 of them.if you had a problem with a service, you don't lose all
Yeah having at least one cold and one warm wallet so that you don't lose all. Having in one wallet is a bad idea.
Well if you have just less than 2 bitcoin than is okay, but more than that is just better to just have a 4 wallets.
There can be several reasons. In most cases I think people experiment with different wallets until they find the one that suits them mostly. Different people have different needs, I didn't saw people talk about some wallet as perfect one, that suits for everyone needs.
I'm using 2 for now, trying to save in one and other is for fast transactions (I gamble a lot so I like to have coins ready in anytime).
I think we will se more and more wallets in future and every wallet will try to offer something unique. So we will use different ones and try to take the best from each one of them until they make perfect one.

they are thought to be more secure, so as to have many wallets
I use two wallets, the reason I use some wallet, because sometimes there is a wallet that has the problem when I need funds to send
The most people using maybe 2 or more wallets is because for safety is just like having 2 banks.
One is for shopping or something for home and the other is for business and back up for if the bank goes bad.
Is also with the wallet if you got hacked or something at least you the other so you won't lose it all.

I only use a few, but I also like to try other ones sometimes like multibit, electrum and armory, just to get a feel for them.
Right now it's just Mycelium and/or Trezor for smaller and larger amounts respectively, and a few exchange wallets if those even count.

Maybe youare just using the online wallet too like blockchain which can be use to receive and send. but when you start to use some bitcoin wallet installed on your computer, you'll realize that these wallets actually provide a lot like an address just for receiving payments and after that you will never see that address again. MultibitHD seem to function this way as far as i know.
I like this '''Don't put all your eggs in one basket'
Well, not only applies to wallets but also investment in bitcoins etc.
But if u use many wallets.. better REMEMBER your pw etc well.

You know its been discussed in some threads but seriously still confused. Well this quote always posted here:
'Don't put all your eggs in one basket'
Hope you got it.

This is my standpoint with wallets. I am that kind of person that does not like anything all in one basket. I currently have 4 but the reason for that is some wallets do not support other altcoins like litecoin and dogecoin. I also feel it is just a bit safer - if something is going wrong with one wallet - which we have seen - then I can quickly transfer to an already established one. Coinbase is my main man for Bitcoin, feel safest with them.
perhaps , every wallet has the function of each, there for transactions , for trading, and for storage.
Almost everyone who use many bitcoin wallet want to make their income organized. Each wallet use to different thing for example one wallet for gambling, other for trading. Or etc.
yeah maybe it is also widely used, but I think it's very complicated to using many wallets,better use one wallet and you can use many addresses in it, you can rename the address according to your wishes
Because if you have a lot of wallet in my opinion it is not good and too complicated

I agree with you, i also have 3 different address wallet.
1. For gambling, i have gambling habbit. It's hard to escape from gambling though.
2. For receive bitcoin from signature campaign or something.
3. For Urgent. i use this for something urgently.
the reason to use multiple wallet, is to lead the anonymity easier, for the darknet users, it would be an advantage to prevent the police from 'stealing' their bitcoin wallet as a fine. lol. for legal multiple use of bitcoin wallet, it is easier to help you to plan "how to spend them properly". 
some people maybe split their money in different wallet , for safety maybe because they not wanna lose all bitcoin that they have if saving in 1 wallet
