1) Because the purpose is not really to make money from tariffs (only trump think that is a thing). The purpose is to encourage people to buy replacements from other countries/your own country/union. People arent going to switch from AWS to Hetzner just because a temporary tariff. But they could easily buy steel/corn/etc from another place while tariffs are in place
2)Software is very hard to tariff because often you can set up a company inside the other country and sell the software from there. And then it never crosses the border. Same can't be done with beef. It has to cross a border.
