Back when every person in the office required their own secretary to do the work that they now do with Saas, did you call secretaries rent-seekers?
Saas is productivity growth at work. Rent-seekers add no additional productivity to the economy, they diminish it. Saas is the opposite.
Are there individual examples where Saas companies might be providing negative value? Of course (I assume somebody will respond below with one such personal anecdote).

However, in aggregate, Saas is not rent-seeking.
