I'd be careful about diminishing the importance of government and legal processes with respect to software (or anything else). It may not be as interesting to some as the technical aspects of software construction, but it absolutely has an impact on what software gets developed and how it's used.
A lack of interest in this fact does not insulate you from its effects.
