I didn't downvote you, but I disagree strongly. Software is both the most complex and skilled-labour-intensive thing that humanity has produced, and something that needs to be individually commissioned for any kind of real business edge. And it's supply constrained; that's why we're paid better than most of the non-finance economy.

You can't just go down and pump another few thousand barrels of raw software into your Strategic Software Reserve.

It's really not, it's now because few things are relatively new, it wont be like this forever. Building a rocket, a plane, a car factory, it's way more complex.
