You have a logical point for sure. I think it might be an apples to oranges comparison in this case though. I just don't know that building cars is the same as building websites and apps. I know Php and JavaScript can respond to an HTTP request. I don't know how to optimize an internal combustion engine. There's probably parallels in terms of expertise with software developers, but I can't be sure.

Indeed it isn't. "Maintenance" has opposite meanings in those worlds: maintaining a car means keeping its original functionalities still available; maintaining an application means letting it evolve.
