"I would suggest not grouping software by distinctions which do not matter for your users."
Yet naturally there seem to be these distinctions drawn; Useful in both understanding markets and producing usable products. A personal example: I use MS Office, Adobe Master Collection, Intuit Quickbooks; all natural collections of single feature software.
"Your users do not have a point at which their demand for software is saturated, any more than they have a point at which their demand for products is saturated."
It seems natural that there would be a saturation point, because a consumer is limited by both time and money.
“"Hold on, wait a minute -- do I need a widget for this, or a suite?" “
Personally, if I found that the lion’s share of a software suite was valuable I would purchase that vs. the individual products with the same feature set.
