I have and use an 11 Pro, have an SE 2016 with a removed battery (third party, bulged the display) as a backup and a 4 that’s useless nowadays.
I’d like to use the SE as my main phone again because it’s so light and pocketable, but the screen is too dim outside (third party replacement) and things like „Findable after Powered Off“ and the crisp OLED screen are too nice to let go. But maybe I’ll just give it a try, it’s not like I’ve never known anything else. It also has a headphone jack.
Remember the days with 500 nits small displays?

You don’t want to know. I’ll just say… the following iPhones were, fortunately, waterproof.
In case you don’t know, they should be stored with the battery halfway charged for longevity. https://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/

You may want to preface it with those who aren't in tech or are iPhone app developers.
I'd expect that would skew everyone to about half a dozen iPhones in active use.
I get the feeling OP was more interested about people who use multiple phones and what their usage is like, not people who have a collection of phones that sit in a drawer. Well, I’m more interested in the former anyway.
I only use one phone, but since it is smaller (SE3) which I prefer when out of the house, I wish I could use a bigger phone (maybe 15 Plus) when at home. But there are certain annoyances about using two phones, especially with two different active lines, that keep me from doing so. Instead I use an iPad Mini at home as my big phone, which with Continuity mostly works well, but my main complaint is the iPad is a bit too big to carry around with me like a phone, even at home. Ideal size would be a Nexus 7, which can be comfortably held in one hand and fit into most pockets, but I would settle for a large iPhone.

By “house phone”, do you mean you dock your 15 Pro and only use your SE1 while at home? Do they have separate lines? If the SE doesn’t have its own line, how do you handle calling and sending SMS messages? I tried to have a house iPhone, but I couldn’t initiate phone calls or send SMS messages from the house phone (I think I was able to receive), and having to carry both phones around was a non-starter for me.
Obviously the 13 is better than the 6S in every conceivable way however, because it’s my main phone, I always get interrupted by WhatsApp messages which I have to reply to. If I want to just relax and enjoy a show while I am away from the TV, I’ll run it on the 6S as it doesn’t have its own SIM card. I also prefer using the 6S as my device when I am in bed as I usually watch something to go to sleep. My 13 charges each night anyway on the MagSafe puck so it’s not accessible to me and I also do not wish to be disturbed by messages while I am tying to go to sleep.
I have an Iphone 11 and a SE2022, currently I'm using the SE3 as the building I'm working in is harder to get a signal and the modem on the SE3 is better than the 11. I like the cameras and the full screen on the 11 but it is an older phone and I like the small size of the SE, it fits in my pocket nicely. And since I suffer with PWM, I'm kind of stuck with these two at the moment.
Only 1 right now - the 3rd Gen SE. I recently picked it up practically new for $300 from a reseller I've used occasionally over the years and trust. It even let me add A+ to it even though I'm not the original owner. I usually budget $40-60/month for phones because I like to try new ones. But the OCD side of me didn't like having any payments after doing it like that for years. So I bought the cheapest thing I could find that should still last a couple of years... It's me that might not last a couple of years with it though. We'll see 
It's actually been quite refreshing to have this form factor again.

Yes, go into settings: Messages - and scroll down to "Text Message Forwarding" for texts, then under settings: Phone: and scroll down to Call forwarding. You pick what phone(s) it all goes.
I have Panasonic Wireless phone bases that are paired with the SE number. When I get a call, the SE rings along with the Panasonic base phones and I can answer wherever I am.
