it seems to me, that this has to do with a fundamental difference between selling products and selling services (I don't mean not software services)
when you are making products (material widgets of any kind) it is possible to achieve marginal costs with parallel and serial manufacture, and with technology and specialized machines.
but if you're selling service (e.g. a waiter) then it's not really possible to "industrialize" production the same way
and don't get me started on software (becuase I wouldn't know how to start)
