A shared frontend would be a little more convenient, but is having multiple apps that big a deal? I think I have eight right now.
Android's default Contacts app has buttons for each option a given contact has so there's not even much cognitive load to pick the app you need if you start from there.
I don't have people saved in Contacts, they are only saved in my apps directly
Most chat apps will sync with Contacts if you allow them to. If you don't do that, then you have to remember which app you want for each person, which becomes inconvenient if you have a lot of contacts who use different apps.
