It's not very complicated.
Software rendering means that it's handled detail by detail by software on a general-purpose computation device.
Hardware rendering means that the software instead initiates complex actions on swaths of the screen at a time by triggering highly-specialized hardware.
One method is orders of magnitude faster than the other, but limited in scope. It's a fool's errand to try to conflate them.
