Well said.
>>Multi-tenancy benefits enormously from the magic of something I call collective scrutiny and innovation
As a practitioner who has lived the world of single and multi-tenant apps, my observation is that multi-tenancy keeps the vendor focused on doing what is right even when it is inconvenient to do so. The temptation for the business to take shortcuts is quite high in single tenant apps.
An app doesn?t have to be multi-tenant to be impactful over the long term, but multi-tenancy improves its chances significantly. It?s like evaluating different forms of government - a benevolent dictatorship may work in the short term, but history shows that a democracy works best in the long term.
Multi-tenancy keeps all entities(buyers, suppliers, partners) focused on the greater good.
