There is more software to be written than there were programmers so lots of people do indeed want more software, for example small tools and one off projects that aren't worthwhile to make pre LLM.
Many people want less software to deal with now, not more. Being forced to download and update apps on your phone that previously could be done without an app, for example.
Which people? They want the right kind of software, that which works for them, not garbage.
A lot of people would find it easier to pull out a few quarters and put it in the parking meter than download and update an app and give it your financial information. Or hand over a paper ticket to get into an event that’s easy to transfer instead of yet another app with a barcode.
Etc.
Probably because most of that software is garbage then. While there are some people who may do that, most find the convenience of not carrying around loose change as a benefit.
