The other gain you get from having the employee build the tool is that now the employee is better at building these tools, so you fundamentally have a better employee than the one that had to spend the time learning the non-transferable one-off tool.

Which is valuable, if your company builds those tools... otherwise you just trained your employee to work at that SaaS vendor.
