I'm wondering why the software based router is not preferable in business

Sorry, but you've gone wrong already. You can't ask "why something is true"
until you first establish that the something is in fact true. There are
*plenty* of businesses where a software based router is quite preferable due to
its lower cost and increased flexibility.  Proof: How many "software-based
routers" (whatever that really means) has Cisco sold that are making their
shops very happy?
