But I agree that the guitar and amp should be one entity, insofar as that they're both of sufficient quality to get the best out of each other and the player.
You can play a guitar without an amp - DI’d into a mixing desk/PA/recording software - and that includes without an amp modeller if you want, provided any distorted sounds you use have some sort of speaker emulation, or at least powerful enough EQ to do the job - but you can’t play an amp without a guitar.

Guitar second - this is what the fingers act upon, again - lose anything now and no pedal or amp will put it back.
Amp third. A great amp will make a great sound come alive, but a great amp can’t make a crap guitar sound good.
Pedals - depends but generally they are seasoning - your sound might completely depend on them but they will only sound best if you sort the rest of the chain out first.
Or maybe that’s all bollocks.
Shut up and play.
