Yes, I do think that "software companies" are aiming to make money off of software (by definition). That aside, I do not understand what point you're trying to make. Sure, software development is likely not the most expensive part of medical devices (although I wouldn't be so sure that's generally true). Free software could still speed up R&D and therefore help save lives.
