I used to think the same, and in the past it was possible (more or less) to use just one messenger for everything, but I've changed my mind on this. - Siloing helps to separate communities. In particular, it reduces the probability of accidentally sharing content with the wrong crowd. I'm happy that people can't even see who's in my contact list. On twitter people use automated blacklists to block people based on whom they follow etc. - One size does not fit all. Insta is ideal for sharing photos, but not good for sharing code. BitBucket / Github on the other hand ... Agreeing with CPLX, I'd say the UX of modern phones makes is really easy to switch between apps, to route content between apps if required (rarely in my experience) and has enough similarity (e.g. shared keyboard, same cut/copy/paste mechanism) so that using all of them is pretty seamless and requires little in the way 're-wiring' one's muscle memory when changing apps. I'm also an emacs user, but there is too much visual stuff going on in my communication these days that I can no longer route it through emacs. Moreover, I do most of my communication through the phone these days.
