Maybe this is fundamental and unavoidable, maybe some systematic bias
in human thinking drives us towards simple software and complex
hardware.

how has software progressed in the last 50-70 years as compared to
hardware?

my watch has how many orders of magnitude of compute vs the computer
which took a large room when i was but a youth?  and we have barely
avoided writing stacks in cobol; but we're close, assembler++.
