When a User adopts a new piece of software an investment of time and effort is necessary (not so for eating a pie). If a particular piece of software doesn't do anything to improve the User's current process it is a wasted investment. If the User currently doesn't use a similar piece of software because they found what is available lacking then why invest if the new software doesn't do anything different.

Asking how a product is different is always relevant when allocation of your own resources is involved.

Didn't know eating pie was 0 time.

Personally, it takes me less time to decide whether some new software is crap and not worth my time than it does to eat a pie.

Zero investment of my time or resources - I already know how to eat pi - nothing to learn or experiment. If it is the same pie I had before and did not like I don't even bother to try it. Of course if it is different than pie I had before I might try it but apparently I should not even ask.
