Why are creators, affiliates, and sellers still using 3–5 different tools?

Something I've noticed while talking to digital product sellers and creators:

A seller might use:

• Gumroad to sell

• Impact or ShareASale for affiliates

• Aspire or manual outreach for creators

• Discord/Telegram for communication

• Stripe for payouts

Meanwhile, creators are juggling:

• Affiliate dashboards

• Brand deal spreadsheets

• Social scheduling tools

• Multiple payout platforms

It feels like the creator economy is still held together with duct tape.

My question:

If you could combine selling, affiliate marketing, creator campaigns, messaging, analytics, and payouts into one platform, would you actually want that?

Or do specialized tools still beat an all-in-one approach?

Curious to hear how everyone here is managing their workflow today.
