Most software is bad because most developers are bad.

I don't think it's more complicated than that.

Good developers can write bad software too. Primarily because there are a lot more factors to software quality than just developer quality: management quality, team dynamics, cost/time pressure, market dynamics, etc.

Not just that but the discipline is bad because it’s young. The fact that the majority of IT projects fail is just crazy.
