Salt is another one. Used to be payment for Roman soldier, now you can just take it from a McDonalds if you want.
Seems like we can have an abundance of software.

And then there's brand marketing and so on, which can drive prices to absurdly high levels. But when it comes to problem solving software. You just want the cheapest possible solution that works. And if we reach a level where you can even spin that solution yourself with a potentially poorly phrased, inconsistent, or contradictory spec (of the sort that developers already have to work with), then software as an industry is basically done. Not done as in dead, but done as is in there's just nowhere to go from here. Relatively few industries have any sort of comparable 'finish line', let alone the chances of us viably hitting it.
