>Usually software is easier to take apart and modify than other engineering products,

I do not think that is true. The one thing software allows is a large degree of modularity. In Electrical or mechanical engineering everything can always influence everything else. In software you can have very strong boundaries.

Why? I don't see that conclusion at all.

You really don’t think it’s easier to rewrite and redeploy some code than to take fix a bridge or something?

Because, except in like safety critical applications, it’s ok to get something that works most of the time out the door and fix minor bugs later.
