Software isn't just the code, it's also the stability that can only be gained after years of successful operation and ironing out bugs, the understanding of who your customers truly are, what are their actual needs (and not perceived needs), which features will drive growth. etc. I think there's still a "there" there.

I think the kind of software that everybody needs (think Slack or Jira) is at the greatest risk, as everybody will want to compete in those fields, which will drive margins to 0 (and that's a good thing for customers)! However, I think small businesses pandering to specific user groups will still be viable.
