That's just not true. In fact, we're losing 30%-40% of the software we use and like every single day simply because people write utter crap and then pointlessly rewrite it over and over. If we placed more focus on having sane development practices and good computer assists for developers, we'd ultimately find it easier to develop software and maintain it over time, such that there'd be little or no need to throw stuff away altogether.
