This is the status quo at the moment. The days of strong, robust third-party clients for a service that don't get squashed by said service are on the long tail at the moment. They figured out that they can monetize users, and thus third-party clients eat into that revenue. Thus the idea of "approving" third-party clients exists.
I miss the heyday of programs like Trillian.

These days I've been trying out Franz and (more recently) RamBox as ways to connect multiple chat services under a single program. The family Slack, Facebook Messenger, and a couple other programs go in there and I never run the native apps or log on to their websites in my browser.
