Comment (by antonisme):

 Hello friends,

 I’m Antonis and I’m covering for @hypest till the end of September. Sorry
 for the late response on this and thank you for your feedback.

  > Honestly, all this is really telling me is that the WordPress app is
 being treated as part of the marketing funnel to get people to use the
 Jetpack app
 I’m sorry that this appears this way. Our target is to remove all the
 Jetpack/Automattic features from the WordPress app while helping the users
 land on the app that best suits their needs. As @hypest mentioned above
 this transition process has progressed slower than anticipated and that’s
 why there are still redirects to the Jetpack app. Our plan is to remove
 those in the next few months.
 > You've got multiple core committers who perceive this as too tied to
 Automattic, in it's current form, for it to be promoted in WP.org. I'm
 inclined to close this as maybelater until the following happens:...
 This is fair and all your points are what we aim for the WordPress App. We
 want to provide a clean WP.org experience without any
 reference/redirection or tie to the Jetpack app.
 Splitting up the codebase is something that we are considering. The
 current shared codebase setup helps us to provide updates to the WordPress
 app with bug fixes, any new non-Jetpack/Automattic features and the latest
 Gutenberg mobile editor. As we get more involvement from the community and
 the features of the two apps get different, splitting up the codebases
 will be inevitable.
