In general, not always because there are various types of SaaS business model companies can go with. Some can still offer SaaS with major versions tying; like offering support/maintenance subscription tied to specific versions only.
SaaS can definitely help some companies as they wouldn't need to worry about pricing, licensing, etc that they have to tie for each major versions as all of that is simply handled by having an account instead. They can just ship updates continuously and in this case, versioning isn't as vital as it is in other cases.
In our case, it's a combination of a lot of things but the main reason is the move to the unified core that allows us to build multiple platforms together but this can happen without SaaS as well; it's just more difficult and more time-consuming.
