Completely agree - I think it can go one of two ways. Software is more malleable than airplanes are and that also comes with downsides (like how much time and effort it takes to bring a new plane to the market)
Try drawing the software monstrosity you work on / with as an airplane. 100 wings sticking out all different directions, covered with instruments and fins, totally asymmetrical and 5 miles long. Propellers, jets, balloons, helicopter blades.
