The problem with software's non-physical nature is that it has runaway market dominance issues. Software, especially software that interacts with other software, tends to be either open-source maintained by a "community" or a thinly veiled world domination plan.

That’s a feature, not a bug, I think.
Low barrier to entry is really important for new software. So it’s this struggle with some orgs trying to increase lock-in (Microsoft, Oracle, etc) and a constant stream of new products taking off, dominating the world, and getting knocked off themselves.
