Every single superficial website or app released today is built on layers upon layers of incredible continuous advances in the software world. Just in the past decade the fields of cloud computing, AI/ML, data warehousing/analytics, distributed systems, real-time communication, geo syncing of data and computation, mobile/embedded development, chipsets, compilers all evolved beyond recognition.

"Ideas" were and still are largely worthless. They are absolutely not the bottleneck in software today. There are a billion implementation-level problems that are still unsolved, and there will always be new ones.
