If we can simulate the same software as in the brain, then the hardware is less relevant.

The brain doesn't run software it's an organ inside the body.

If you mean can we simulate a brain inside a computer the answer is no we can't it's unlikely that we can without building something similar to the brain which is why this product is a thing.

The physicality is important here.

The brain very much does run a type of software. Yes, it's an organ, but the analogy to hardware and software is apt. That's like saying a BIOS doesn't run software it's a chip on a motherboard.
