> Why wouldn't any user want the software to be feature rich?

Users want feature rich systems. Individual programs are best feature-complete, but focused on a single task and capable of cooperating with others when something out of scope is desired.

From my personal viewpoint: It's not easy to hack on large monoliths, even for senior software engineers. But if every logical piece of the monolith tries to be as small as it meaningfully could, the barriers are drastically lower.
