Once you learn how to program it, yes.

Can one synth do it all? Yes.
Can one synth do it all well? No.

Depends on what it is you're looking to do. For what I do, no one synth could possibly do everything I need to be able to do. For somebody else, one synth might be all they need.

More context is needed.

Not really. For example Falcon has both fm and granular engines but they are not as powerful, not capable of achieving the fm of F.'em or the granular of crusherX

Opinions. The curse of the internet.

A synth is just a tool. Use the right tools for the right job.

I probably could do everything with Massive X, but that would be boring.

Yes, one can probably do it all.
However, with almost every synth I ever owned (s/w and h/w) at some point I've made a whole track with just the one synth - and I've never liked any of them. They just sound too samey. I even did it with various old school h/w samplers. I dunno why I do it TBH, because the result is always the same :nutter:
