I'd rather give a completely different explanation.

Building 90% of a software is easy, getting to 100% is insanely difficult.

Building 90% of a construction/hardware/car/... is hard, the final bits are easy.

No, the last 10% of completing the house, car, machine, or meal preparation is still the most difficult, just like in software.

Finishing always requires more attention to detail, and a tougher sense of good-enough than the first 90%.
