Big software/systems projects being notoriously difficult to estimate and manage, cost overruns the norm, etc.

I assume he's referring to platform lock-in ala Microsoft Office, AWS, Oracle, or Apple's walled garden driving future decisions. So the first software decision is a down payment until your technical debt hole is so big you can't do anything but throw money down it.

Huh? No, I think he's referring to large scale software projects costs being high, and such projects being often late or even failing.
