Comment (by hypest):

 👋 friends!

 I'm Stefanos from the mobile team, and I help lead the WordPress mobile
 and Jetpack mobile teams at Automattic. Happy to share thoughts and
 information that I hope can be helpful here.

 > features for Jetpack and WordPress.com features are still being added

 I appreciate how it indeed looks that way, and will continue to look like
 that until the repositories, say, split up.

 Mobile devs are mostly focused right now on helping existing users land on
 the app that serves their use-case best, by both implementing useful
 "redirects" and by making the distinction between the two apps more clear.
 It's a transition happening with the users' experience in mind, and while
 this process has progressed slower than anticipated, it's still moving
 forward. In fact, roughly a 5% of the users already experience an app with
 all the Jetpack features and forwards removed, as the team is testing if
 that flow is more successful and quicker than the current, "poster
 screens" based one.


 I want to also note that, new work that gets added to the codebase is
 surfaced only to the relevant users. For example, Blaze is only available
 to WordPress.com users and there's no attempt to "advertise" it to non-
 WPCOM users. Similarly, the "Jetpack is detected on our site, try the
 Jetpack app" messaging is there for Jetpack-the-plugin users, to help them
 enjoy the best companion-app experience.

 Goal is to help existing WP app users appreciate and understand the
 change, and land in the app that they think can best suit them. The
 transition is progressing and these "intermediate stage" screens will be
 gone down the road.

 Let me know if I can help address more points or questions, happy to.
 🙇‍♂️
