Its marketing. Only offer a single version loaded with features and people
will complain that it's too expensive and contains loads of stuff they don't
need. Offer multiple versions with different feature sets and more people
will buy.

Software's not the only place that's done.

Look at BMW. They're a classic example. Often the only difference between
certain BMW models is the software, not the engines.
