I was under the assumption that I can use one fediverse account across all ther fediverse apps, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

I.e. I downloaded the mastodon android app and tried to select kbin.social as the server, but it gives an error.

Same for jerboa, it won't let me connect to kbin.social, saying invalid credentials.

Is this something on the roadmap or am I simply wrong with my assumption?

Consider it like your email. You can use yours to communicate with people using any service, but you can’t sign into a gmail account with outlook.

That's a poor example, as Outlook basically is a mail client and you actually can use it to access your Gmail mails.

Outlook.com is a free, personal email service from Microsoft.

From Microsoft’s website. Depending on context, Outlook can be their email service similar to Gmail or a Desktop email client similar to Thunderbird.
