If you need to invest millions of dollars for some pharmaceutical pill, you probably want to have a return on investment for that. The only way to really have that is your exclusive right to sell it, or license it out. If you can't have that right, you won't invest those millions of dollars. But software is not like that, because innovation is mainly driven by building on top of small things, not doing a crazy expensive research project. So industries are different, and I do see the benefit for some.
