OK, I’ll take a stab at this.
One might decide to go with an app because it does a better job of fulfilling your needs than anything else in that category, even if it evolves (because of programmer interest or use response) to a new unique strength.
I’ve used outliners for decades, but haven’t used Omni Outliner. I suspect it went from “best of class” (on the Mac platform) to pioneer in a new category altogether.
Of course, they’re not mutually exclusive. You can buy an outliner and discover that what you really needed was something else altogether, based on the new features of that app. But it might still be the best of breed in the original category.
For me, Outlinely mostly does the job as a Mac app, CarbonFin on the iPad, Workflowy across platforms, but somehow none of them are as good as MORE for what I need. I’m looking for a writing tool, which is itself a departure from a core outlinerf eature set.
