I started reading your list thinking I'd get an essay of how ridiculous software development would look like, only to get a list that more or less matches what

  There is no "right" way in how to deal with complexity. Yes, both disciplines have their own way of handling that subject. And each discipline is struggeling how to find a way to gain evolution. For me the key performance indicator is that in software development people controlled open source now takes a crucial part in the basis of most software projects whereas in science everything is much more corporate infected. In science knowledge is created where money is. And money comes from corporate interests. In software corporate interests tried to control the market but in the end had to capitulate. Most servers are run based on open source, most software is developed with tools being open source. Of course, there is no standard. You can write an application in Vue, React, Angular, JSP or whatever. Yes, in the end software industry is insance. They have managed to get accepted that every five year the old software is scrapped and basically the same software is developed again. But letting old software die and creating a new version with new ideas in mind is much closer to the way nature is doing things. And to be honest - the only one who really can deal with complexity is nature hands down.
