>GDP is just a measurement of how much shit a country produces a year.
No, it's a measure of much money goes through the economy, regardless if any "shit" is produced there. Look at Ireland, Netherlands and Luxembourg or any other tax heaven.
Generally, goods and services are considered to be products. And their analogy to software wasn't in bad faith, software is a service (hence the term SaaS used for subscription based software, even though non subscription based software is also a service imo) and not a good.

False.
Products are products, services are services. Product si a Macbook or video game I just bough which I can return, but I can't return the cleaning service the handyman just offered on site.
You're pointing out that tax heavens produce products which is flawed. They don't produce anything, they're just middlemen and their balooned GDP reflects that.
