Daily drivers make a ton of sense.
Users want to engage with notifications, conversations, zaps and the most basic content types in **one place**. I do too.
It's for opening (and even more so creating!) niche content types that they'll need specialized apps.
Next to that, apps that bring all your [Enter Content Type] together in a manageable library will play a big role too. Music player, Podcast player, App Store, Workout Tracker... Although, these apps should probably link out to the user's daily driver for a great reply-, zap- or notification experience and instead :110percent: focus on on being a high quality place for finding, creating and (dis)playing the content type they focus on.
These two types of apps are complementary with daily drivers and make them even more valuable. Making them obsolete is the last they'll do.

Maybe the issue with specialty clients is the lack of UX consistency. There is an expectation of "what works" on Amethyst. When users install another app, they need to calibrate themselves to a new expectation for just that app. And that is tiresome for users.
We need to figure out a way to normalize that across apps.
Yes, there is a cost to that.
I heard discussion about "unified branding" as a plus for onboarding, makes sense.
But at some point users will have to pay the switching price, I don't see how to normalize UI on a decentralized protocol
