I was thinking about this, Inflation is quickly increasing the cost of many commodities in the market and with the many things to buy in the market most families are finding it difficult to get all the things they require to keep their family at home running smoothly. How about manufacturing companies start thinking about making products that do not just have one use case or solve one problem? In some places there are already people who are making sure that they find other uses for commodities that they purchase in the market for instance using washing soap meant for dishes for home cleaning as well. what if this becomes official to help families save cost, manufacturing items with multipurpose.
Will you purchase items with multipurpose?

There are some things that have multiple use cases like knives (that can cut bread, meat and open a bottle), and nailcutters that not only cut nales but have 10 different use cases.
That soap is a good example. A few years ago there was a big poverty in my region and for this reason, people were using cloth washing soap for washing clothes, dishes, hands, hair and body. It was like an all-in-one solution but I think you shouldn't be using something strong that's meant for clothes on your skin and hair. I believe there are good reasons why we have separate products for everything, they are for our safety and believe me, if businesses were allowed, they'd create a product with multiple use cases because of the competition.

I am not sure that it would be in companies interest to make multipurpose products such as these, to force buyers to get more of separate products, thus spending more money.

Also, as you said, I'm not sure if one multi purpose product can do the operation better than it would do specialized product.
