Why Azure has given 3 different storage accounts. Is there any major difference between this account.

  1. General-purpose v2 accounts
  2. General-purpose v1 accounts
  3. Blob Storage accounts

As 1 already can do everything in Azure storage like blobs, files, tables, and queue. Any suggestions appreciate.
