If you go to Shell.com to buy gas, you're going to be disappointed.

Quite a misleading analogy. If you go to <any site>.com to buy <anything that can't be downloaded or legally mailed to you>, you're going to be disappointed.

Should we have the same expectations for downloadable software that we do for gasoline (or any product that can't be downloaded or shipped)?

I say "no", but that's something we could disagree on.
