I am a one man army on that point, "we" is "our company", websites are not our main business. ;-)
The only software I use regularly is InfiniteWP to have a look for updates. Although it sends me a mail to my "status messages" slack channel, so no big deal on that end. Backups run automatically by BackWPUp Pro, caching and lock down are done when setting up/finishing a new site, so there´s not really much software involved at all.
85 points or A ratings or whatever alone are "just metrics" for sure. But I don´t think that I need to tell you that if you want to reach and keep a high value on those scales, you have to take care of compressed CSS and JS, auto-optimized images, caching, fast servers etc. pp.
Which in the end leads to fast(er), better accessible websites without dropping backend usability or features.
