Interesting perspective. I don't see much difference between building websites, physics models, game dev, and data science.

Computers certainly have wide ranging applications but at the end of the day, programming all of those tasks is pretty similar.

I have a similar but different viewpoint. Software products can be distributed to a old rural minority in africa and to a rich man in the heart of a city atthe same time. For many applications they can be catered as well, mobile/desktop, zoom in for bad eyesight, etc. You just can't do that with, AFAIK, anything else.
