SaaS that is open source makes sense when you provide something that would be
difficult or troublesome to achieve with running the thing on-premise. Good
network connection with high uptime is one such thing. Keeping the software
updated, populated with plugins, or a management panel for spinning up many
separate instances could be another.

Loads of users choose the latter because it's less maintenance and easier to get started with. Larger companies on the other hand will pay for the enterprise edition so that they can self-host it.
