??? It's research. ??? They might be considering demographics, among other things. This might limit the number of people per household, per zip code, per area code, per income range, per age range, etc. If they want a broad cross-section of diners, they will need a broad cross-section of shoppers. Two or more shoppers from the same household are likely to have the same zip code, same area code, same income range, and some similar interests and tastes for food and other testable items.
I don't know enough to prove flash's point, but I think that shopper fraud or abuse is a likely reason, too.
@flash: is this situation worse because of covid?
imho shoppers should not be relying on gigs to provide absolutely everything in their lives. Just now, with finances all over the place and covid rampant, this is probably difficult for many people who ordinarily would shop for giggles, a different thing for the brain cell to do once in awhile, or to get a few goodies. Some families now have plenty of time to shop and possibly plenty of need to get goods or services paid for or reimbursed via mystery shopping. Would it be a good idea to increase the number of shoppers per household temporarily just for this reason, even if the restrictions would be back in place after covid is controlled?

Why can't a household have more than one mystery shopper?
