That does not work. People only use 10% of word, but this does not mean that you can partition all users in batch of "10% of features". If you want to satisfy everyone, you have to make every possible combination of "10% of word features". Which is impossible. So it's much easier to just combine all features in one product and try to give the user a good interface to find easily the feature they are looking for.

I remember Caddy used to have a "kitchen sink" packager or something like that available via their website, where you could pick and chose what features you'd want included. Playing with the idea (I'm not saying it's a good idea or that I want it), Microsoft could offer something similar, where you tick boxes for what use-cases you want it to fit, and bundle it all together for you with a price per use-case. I'd absolutely hate it, as I never know what I need in the future, but maybe for some people it'd make sense.
