Gateway entries for Power BI/Power Automate/PowerApps

I have a question about the Power Platform On-premises Data gateway.

I hope I know the answer out of experience and the way it works right now, but I'd like to be 100% sure.

 

You install a Power Platform data gateway that you can manage on the Power Platform Admin center. 

Then you create different connections (or gateway entries) for Power BI on one side (in app.powerbi.com) and Power Automate and PowerApps on the other side (either on flow.microsoft.com/ or make.powerapps.com/home). Is that correct?

So connections/gateway entries for Power Automate and PowerApps are shared. Is there a reason behind why it is designed that way? Will it stay that way or are there plans to change this? More a question directed at MSFT than the community, but maybe someone knows?

 

Thanks for any help!
