I feel like if you wanted a no-modes blender you'd need to split it up into 5 or 6 separate programs. There's the vertex modeling aspect, the camera and object tracking aspect, the video editor aspect, the sculpting aspect, and probably a half dozen more things I'm forgetting.

Blender is an absolute massive collection of interrelated functionality. It's mental that they managed to make it all work so well.
