Security is about layers, and the more layers you have the better, because every individual layer is going to have holes. Even if you just figure out a way around one program, the fact that the same company developed the other programs means you have some idea of how to go about attacking the rest with a higher probability of success. If someone finds a way to exploit that common code, then they can topple the entire suite. Say you install their Norton 360 product, which uses a lot of common code.
