Damn I got a buzzword bingo on your second paragraph, holy crap man. Do you think a toll-road operator couldn't also describe all the benefits of a toll-road? Does that make it not rent-seeking? Look, we're on a (at least mildly) technical forum, we can be honest here - SaaS has been great for providers and sometimes great for customers. And I'm not talking about off-the-shelf vs built-in-house, I'm talking about billing method.

Things really sucked in enterprise software in the 90s, and SaaS has made a lot of things so much better. And I'm not talking about off-the-shelf vs built-in-house, I'm talking about billing method. In many cases, the billing method has influenced the way the products work and how they're developed.
