Hit the nail on the head. Those suites of tools offered for existing vulnerable software is usually written for platforms and configurations that shouldn't be applicable to 99% of companies.
It's like throwing gauze over an open wound. Some companies don't care enough to put thought into healing the wound altogether, whereas some just wrap it in gauze and hope they don't bleed out. And it usually works - at least for a while, until you get big enough/become a lucrative enough target to a persistent hacker.
It isn't a case of "more security tools == better security", it's a case of "why do I need these tools in the first place". If you aren't analyzing attack surfaces and building security into your software development process, I can only hope the code you write isn't accessible externally.
* using 'you' incorrectly here, speaking to those looking to apply these tools to their setup.
