As someone who has shipped some of the biggest products at one of the biggest companies, I don’t think software is “finished” in a manner we ascribe to most products.
I do house projects and have built furniture, and when I “finish” those, there is nothing left to do. There is literally no additional work for those projects I can think of.
I’ve never shipped software that didn’t have bugs we didn’t fix, some feedback that didn’t get addressed, technical debt (test etc.) we didn’t get to, or features we wished we added.
Software is just a different beast to a lot of other things that you “finish”.
