I can picture way more bureaucracy about both the legal practice of software development as well as registering the software, having it audited for "harm" (look at all the movements within ML to try and leech off of this).
Additionally, I expect efforts to destroy open source or pervert it towards pet corporate or political causes will cause at minimum an extremely fractured environment, it not a set of walled gardens where you're stuck paying for MS Linux and only writing for the MS store or whatever.
Add to that some bloated "low-code" thing optimized to remove agency from developers so the lowest skill commodity workers can do whatever minimal human task is still required, so that even a quantum computer will buckle under the weight of whatever 30x incepted framework the web-app you use is running in.
Of course I'm a pessimist.
