I have no doubt that they will eventually enshittify Affinity, but combining the three apps into one was, imo, a good move. The suite was clearly meant to be one app from the start, but was sold as three separate apps for commercial reasons.
All three original apps contained each other's functionality. As a result, the new combined app is barely larger than one of the three previous apps, and switching between the modes is now much more convenient and has a better UX.
