I guess you could say this new tax treatment incentivizes writing more stable, longer-lasting software artifacts?

No, you don't get any extra benefit from the software lasting. The tax treatment is the same if it lasts 1 day or 10 years.

The incentive is to write software that is immediately profitable, and investing in long term projects becomes more costly.

    The benefit you get from code that is useful for along time is that it’s useful, for a long time.
