Every tool on the machine decides without knowing what the software is
That is true whether you run six security products or none. What differs is what you can do about it.

What is the same for everyone
No tool on the endpoint answers the question the others depend on.
An inventory lists names. A patch tool tracks versions. A policy matches paths and publishers. A detection product watches behaviour once something runs.
Each answers its own question well. Not one of them answers what is this file, who made it, what category does it belong to. So each substitutes something adjacent and correlated, because it has to decide something and that is the nearest fact available.
It is not a feature gap in any of them. It is a layer that does not exist underneath all of them.

What is different
What you can do about it depends on what is already on the machine.
The controls are there. The fact underneath them is not.
Endpoint detection, privilege management, a broker, a catalog. Each decides about software without knowing what the software is. We supply the fact they are all missing.
The controls are not there, or not everywhere.
Some coverage with holes in it, or almost none. The agent can enforce where your tools do not reach, and it ships switched off.
Either way
One agent, on Windows, macOS and Linux. It reads what is on the machine and reports what each item is, who made it, and how certain that is.
Where you already run tools that enforce, it feeds them. Where you do not, it can enforce itself, and it ships switched off.
