What's the app you'd build if you had ten years?

Something like we chat, a super app - one app to rule em all.
Why do people want that? The super app is called the OS and apps are supposed to be modules with single responsibilities, right? What’s the advantage (for the user) of one super app compared to multiple apps?
I think that's how it's usually described. The actual thing is too intricate to articulate and is a little bit different for everyone, so we just call it a super app. See also 'the holy grail of software engineering'.
