Who will be given the task of tracking usage? Would users trust a company's internal system? I don't think I would! And if not, which 3rd party business is going to pick this up instead? Given the discrepancies different platforms - decisions like this are pretty huge, especially for the user!

However, one key issue that you've missed out is security. Tying multiple access points in one solution means that if the login details become compromised for that one central login, there's an awful lot of data available to the would-be hacker. IT Pros are the early adopters in these areas, and tend to lead a lot of web behaviours. Security is a key concern for them, and until multi-layered protection can be built in, they're unlikely to go for it en masse. Unfortunately, multi-layered protection means re-submission of details for different areas, which means we're back to square one. Perhaps the answer is security where users can tailor their own settings i.e. access to certain logins with one password, then others with another...? Interesting points – I agree in the main.
