If someone develops software that can directly save a life, then yes, it should be affordable by literally everyone.
The same applies for medicine. If you are with-holding drugs that can literally cure cancer but require you to cough up, say, $50,000, then I sincerely hope a hell exists for you because that is straight-up unapologetic evil.
If R&D is that expensive and you need to recoup costs, then the government should fund the research of such drugs.
No matter what the circumstances however, you don't get to restrict access to a drug that cures cancer based on financial capability and somehow take the moral high ground.
