I'm glad that people are working on this, but not sure I get why this needs to be one unified suite of software. IMO, it would be more productive to focus on a single one of the apps and make that good before doing them all at once.

Because managers like to hear things like "suite" and "turnkey solution". Normal people don't want to assemble their own solution from disparate parts.

Have you been to a clothes store?

People happily mix and match parts when they feel that they understand the subject area. I bet the IT team (even just the CTO) in a company that considers to use OSS instead of the typical O365 or G.Suite has plenty of opinion, and likely expertise, to consider at least various integrations, and possibly introducing other components. A suite still has a lot of appeal.

These are actually separate apps, possibly they can work standalone.

But the idea is to offer a suite, much like Google's, with all familiar tools present and integrated by the common auth / account system. I bet this is geared towards selling the services to governmental bodies and some privacy-conscious businesses, RedHat-style. To do that successfully, you have to check certain boxes.

The breadth is quite impressive, honestly.
