Ironically, software really does fundamentally suffer from the same problem too. It just so happens that today's hardware is so powerful relative to most use cases these days that most developers don't run into those problems, until they try to scale (or they scale successfully, but as a result of the success now have the money and incentive to start caring about formerly tiny problems)
