It might be even worse — let's try to answer one question: Can software ever be finished?

And if it was finished, what would people think about it? No commits since a year? Dead!

Jokes aside, I think software can be finished in the same way you finish building a house. Sure it built now, but that doesn't mean that maybe in a year or ten something major has to be done because the components that make the house changed, the environment changed, the requirements changed etc.
