But when did the concept of singularity merge with that of superintelligence? I had the impression they were two separate concepts, with singularity being about the rate of human and societal progress.
If we were able to build an AI of high general intelligence, yet entirely within the human range, we could deploy billions of them as almost entirely separate entities. There would be no single superintelligence, and yet the rate of human technological progress would reach an unimaginable speed.

There would be no single superintelligence, and yet the rate of human technological progress would reach an unimaginable speed. What would stop someone from asking any subset of the AIs to build a smarter one? What would stop a nation-state from doing it?

Also, a superintelligent (maybe invincible) AI acting against humans could reduce the rate of human technological progress to zero, therefore ending the singularity. It's two separate concepts, they have some interaction but should not be confused.
