I did not interpret their statement as meaning they have many variants of the same tool, but that they have tools that cover a wider variety of situations.

I found the same thing moving from a very large company to a smallish company. Both had good tooling, the latter just had significantly less and there were gaps in coverage. Whenever I encountered one of those areas I often found myself wishing I had access to some niche tool I had gotten used to at my prior company.
