For lots of businesses the choice isn't between SAAS and download+install, but SAAS and not having an app at all.
It's a real cost+risk to maintain, update, secure, backup and troubleshoot an application internally and in most bottom line terms is less expensive as a SAAS than an internal application.

Sure, it makes some people some money, and there's a perfectly rational short-term market reasoning to do your product this way, but is this the world we want to live in? I think this is one of those cases where to make real progress, you have to go against the gradient of economic considerations.
