There is the flip-side of that. The other domains don't get software and tend to resist the incursion of software generally in spite of obvious benefits. Notice that the model has historically been disruption as opposed to 'integration' - despite the existing interests being in a prime position to leverage. Taxi companies didn't even contract out a half-assed cellphone app when there were obvious benefits to GPS and computerized dispatching. It has been a 'science advances one funeral at a time' thing in practice unfortunately. Although there are a few who do integrate and reap the benefits. I recall an article about one unusual young city council making good use of social media live streaming for meetings and text chat to make their governance more accessible, transparent, and responsive. Given the issues involved with either trying to build up an expertise to reproduce the field of knowledge or trying to get them to cooperate it is no wonder from a business standpoint why software developers are biased to 'just software'. It has the least number of additional complications in what is already a risky business.
