Huh? On my 2012 MacBook Pro that I'm using for testing at the moment, I had no problem installing Catalina on an APFS volume, while also having Mojave and High Sierra installed on separate APFS volumes on the same partition, and having Lion and Sierra installed on separate HFS+ partitions, all on the internal disk.
