Starchitects who can get parametric designs built for $$$ are outliers, and considering how these buildings have failed to perform in real life, computation is a enabling a lot of bad designs. I know ppl that that interned at Hadid 15 years ago, they mostly just used Rhino / Maya and dodgy exports to cad for construction drawings. The real software dependency is all the structural analysis behind the scene to optimize design for costs, the former can be negated via expensive overengineering, so the latter is ultimately what makes these designs buildable in market economies.
