I have a hypothesis that there are too many B2B SaaS products available today.
That fact—even more than AI and the end of ZIRP—explains how hard it is to sell
B2B SaaS these days. I'd like you to research how many B2B SaaS offerings exist
globally.

One indicator that my hypothesis might be correct would be that the number of
SaaS products has dramatically increased over the last twenty years. I need you
to research this topic and try to piece together an estimate of B2B SaaS
products by year over the last 20 years. I'd like to see a chart of how how
that's grown and an estimate of the CAGR of SaaS products.

Ground your research in facts or estimates presented by reliable/reputable
sources like well-known research analysts (Gartner, Forrester, etc). Try to
provide counts of SaaS applications. If you can't derive application/company
counts, you may also consider alternative approaches to solving the problem
like estimates of applications based on overall market size in dollars.
