  That's a good suggestion, and as it happens I use web clients when possible as well. That sucks in a different way, as the experience tends to be sub par, but at least it works (when on desktop - it's high friction when I've only got my phone to hand). It's still much like having a different application for every community or work client though - only it's become a different tab for each of them, with the tabs organised by application rather than by usefulness (or there are too many tabs), which is a poor way to organise. It also makes it difficult to organise information beyond the crude tools provided. Desktop notifications exist, yes, but I would find it so much more useful to be able to filter content and notify me of only relevant things, sort, pin, annotate, link and so on. And for this prioritisation and context management to mediate between different information sources globally, rather than having to use my own brain to do it manually, which I find to be a significant cognitive load.
