Sure it can be done. Just like strip mining, and a fossil fuel based economy, and mass poisoning of ecosystems for mono culture farming. Yes you can build software factories. The point is not that it doesn't exist or it's impossible. The point is, it is a way to exploit people and cause suffering for profit.
Software is codification of knowledge about domain and business process. If you wanna endorse and foster some form or another of cajoling it into making overtly complicated products for a boost on quarter revenues, we're just fundamentally of different world views.
I simply pointed out that for many tasks it "works". Churning out React microsites and mobile apps, one after the other is what many creative agencies do. Notice that these are very constrained parts of the ecosystem (that's why I wrote a wall of text, to try to make the point that not all software is sacred codification of sprawling byzantine never-ending-fractals of business processes and human dreams).
I endorse healthy workplaces, hobbyist endeavors, coding challenges, navigating the murky waters of customer-supplier relationship with integrity, and absolutely despise how awful they are in many-many-many cases, and yes, it's mostly because of the absolutely fucked up incentives, like squeezing short-term revenue.
