Many do sell software. Google is a major software provider. However, it is things like Google Apps for Work and Google Apps for Education, for example. The famed buzzword: software as a service.

As was famously said a few years ago "Software is eating the world." Even traditional software companies with on-premise licensing rarely send CDs nowadays.
