Wouldn't it be simpler for Stack Exchange to have a single website for all subjects and just use tags for classification?

There are already tags. My thought is that they seem to be trying to solve the same kind of noise issues that Reddit's subreddits solve, except Reddit does a much better job. Having to open up a separate account on each site (linked by one big virtual account) is really messy, in my opinion.
I'd like to see this as well. They could implement a tiered tag system with classification tags and content tags. There are few things as off putting as a smarmy, self-important moderator power tripping by telling me my question belongs elsewhere.
