All of those other systems have multi-system terminals. Penn Station, Grand Central etc. You can literally walk across the hall in the same building and change trains. In Bethesda you will need to exit the station and walk around the corner to the other station entrance to transfer between Metro and Purple Line.

Situations like Union Station are the exception, not the rule. There's not even a direct connection from Amtrak/VRE to Metro at Alexandria, or from Amtrak/MARC at New Carrollton, where their platforms are literally across from one another and their rails use the same right of way.
