That is a good point, many specialty spoons exist, but it's not quite the same as software. I'm sure we all have utensils we like and dislike, but the feature set is pretty much the same on all of them, especially within a category of specialty type, the difference is mostly decorative and ergonomic. Wheras with tech, we often add things that are only tangentially related to the original purpose, and we add layers of indirection between user and the actual purpose, with millions of ways that mapping can happen. Two variants of nominally the same idea can have totally different possible applications, like a phone with and without a GPS. These days all smartphones have GPS, but what about UWB? What about a stylus? Or wireless charging? They're all smartphones, sold for basically the same general market rather than some specific application, but everyone has a different set of features they want, because it's not a single-function device. Some people might like more or less ornamentation, and some people might prefer silver over stainless steel, but even most of the specialized types don't have extra features, and nobody picks them up and wishes they did, and rarely do people prefer spoons to be multi-purpose.
