I'll add to the MarkinK's reply: the idea is that CRM/ERP target audience:

* Requires a considerable amount of integrations, customizations, and other "stuff on top";

* Has huge fears about vendor lock-ins and the possibility of unforeseen migrations/support costs.

So yes, the idea is that allowing not only custom deployments, but competitor SaaS businesses built on top of it can raise the market for the added services. Whether that would really work this way or not is a question we'd be dying to know the answer for :D
