Most software is incapable of being incorrect, because correct behavior isn’t defined! Hence the questions here about who’s to say what’s correct. When the typical programmer says a program is “buggy” it means “it didn’t do what I want.” That’s a pleasantness property, not a correctness one.

  So that would mean as soon as your software has 2 users, it is broken because it doesn’t conform to their 2 (different) imaginary specs?

    Yes, unless you have a sufficiently complex and inscrutable EULA to point to as proof that at least one of the users was out of spec.
