I dunno about this. Automation of tasks that used to be manual is real, but software goes beyond this. A lot of software allows new or better technologies which can be used to transform the human experience. Such as video games, flight control systems, video conferencing, etc. Other can save lives, such as radio therapy controllers, alarm systems, pace makers, etc. Some can take it away more effectively, like guided missiles, self manned aircrafts, etc. Just wanted to point out it exists for more then just that. Also, in the current market, a company who wants to retain good talent has to allow them some fun, amd giving them the choice of tools or language can be a good recruiting tool, or mechanism to keep good talent.
