Many goods/products have seen a transition from scarcity to abundance. The analogy of fiber looms was already made. Humans used to spend a huge amount of time producing clothe. It was even used as currency in many cultures. No cheap clothing is so abundant we don't even think about where it comes from.
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.
