I’ve had the same question for a while now. My best guess is that they’re trying to create separate services that individually are the best at what they do UI/UX-wise. It may be very difficult to create an all-in-one platform for each type of media as a cohesive experience.

It could also be done for modularity. Having the services split up means the user doesn’t have to deal with media types they don’t care about and could just install the services for which they do.

That being said, it would be nice if there was an all-in-one platform that allowed you to easily opt into the media types you wanted as like plugins or something instead of you having to set up multiple different app containers in your server.
