If you have multiple users on a PS4 do they share the PS+ for online gaming? Because the MAU vs PS+ is weird to me.

Yes, if the console is set as primary for the subscriber. But the count includes people on Vita and PS3, too and free accounts.

yes, the console is set as primary so technically my kids can play on that one whilst I play on another ps4

Don't equate PS+ with MAU. F2P games such as Fortnite, Apex and many others can be played online for free on PS4, PS+ is not required.

MAU must be counting anyone who logged anytime in a month to the network with a ps account, just like MS i think

Not what I was doing , I tried to get an idea what MAU includes. Because

1. I assume that there is not 60M active Vita + PS3 users every month. Also if I own a PS3 + Vita + PS4, am I counted as 3 active users if I go online with each device?
2. It's "logical" that not every PS4 has an active PS+ sub, ref SP games and F2P games etc.

And if users on the same console shared the same PS+ account, then assuming that vita + ps3 numbers are negligible and assuming (again)that there are more active PS+ subs than F2P/SP only gamers on the PS4. Each PS4 has 2.something user accounts on average.

Would be interesting to know if anybody knows what MAU actually includes

You are conflating PS+ accounts with MAU. The vast majority of PS4 owners will have PSN accounts, not just those who pay for PS+. To be succinct, PS+ has nothing to do with MAU.
