The software industry's original sin was "no warranty, even the implied warranty of merchantability", even on literal products for sale. Every evil we have visited upon the world — clickwrap licenses, instagram anorexia, AI dystopia — is downstream of the generalized ability for software to disclaim liability for defective products in ways that every other industry just absolutely cannot.
