Blender is a 3d app. It's for modeling, rendering, lighting, animating. It has some 2d compositing features, but that's not what it's designed to do.
Fusion 9 is a 2d compositing app. It's for color correction, integrating 3d renders into photographic footage, welding pieces of footage together so it looks like they were shot at the same time, finishing, optical effects, and so on. It has some 3d features, but that's not what it's designed for.
Resolve (now with 100% more Fusion) is an editing and color correction program. It's for creating a sequence to tell a story. It has Fusion bundled in, but it's still not as good at compositing as just using Fusion on its own.
Each piece of software is a different part of the full production pipeline, and you really need all them or their equivalets (plus a few more, probably) to get everything done. None of them can be completely replaced by any of the others, even though some overlap of functionality does exist.
