I understand where you are coming from, but this is not completely true. We often build physical infrastructure & buildings that need to evolve and change over time. This sometimes leads to over-building and often over-engineering but the biggest difference is we don't usually design & build software to true engineering standards. We move quick and break stuff, fix it after release, waterfall is outdated and maligned, nobody is held responsible for catastrophic failure. Most of us are NOT engineers. Even less build software as engineers.
