The (surface-level) software industry makes its money through some combination of:

* Surveillance advertising
* Telling investors stories
* Exploiting the well meaning & the desperate
* Skirting laws
* Paywalls (least objectionable, if it weren't for the DRM)

In every case the vast majority of our computing effort goes towards extracting an income, not towards any tasks with any real value!

Yet politicians hope that the software can continue (green) economic growth for them?

1/1.5!
