If you can classify software development as providing a product and not a service then miners can certainly make the same argument regarding the data they produce. More easily, in fact, since they have no particular business relationship with the entities blindly submitting transactions to the network. Software developers are routinely involved in maintenance and support contracts, or producing new software to spec, which is more of a service than a product. The exchanges will be covered, of course, but they're so buried in onerous KYC/AML requirements already that they may not notice any difference.
