But for every similar shaped organism, there exist as many, if not more dissimilar ones, either alive or preceding. Convergence is not a given, and for every instance of convergence there are just as many divergences, even when appearing similar on the surface. For each degree of software 'carcinization' [1], I'd contend there are as many evolutionary offshoots going against the grain.

That's true, but perhaps just like in biological evolution, the ones that are against the grain don't survive, for whatever reason. So it could even be that convergence occurs via selection.
