In what sense is it tautological? I can think of a lot of things that are important that won’t get done, healthcare improvements being one. Software on the other hand is typically fluid enough that someone will rewrite it.
I think it’s slightly more meaningful, because not all dreams can be achieved. If software isn’t getting ported from Python 2 to Python 3, it almost certainly isn’t because it’s too hard to do.
It’s as meaningless as telling someone they will achieve their dream if they want it bad enough.
