I can't help but try to add my ELI5 explanation. It's like how Gmail and Yahoo are interchangeable but you can only use the Gmail app with Gmail accounts and to log into Yahoo you have to use the Yahoo app.
There are apps that support imap/pop that can do both but we don't have the equivalent of imap/pop for the fediverse yet (closest we have is several projects having mastodon compatible APIs but sometimes it's only partial, iirc pixelfed used to be usable from the mastodon app but it diverged too much)
