What is the ratio of the size (market cap) of software to computer hardware industries? I can’t find good numbers
What is the corresponding ratio for software/hardware for humans? (healthcare, 50% of food = hw, culture, edu, 50% of food = sw)
I’m betting 10:1 for both (global)

At limit, infinity. Thanks to copyright laws you can get paid an indefinite amount of times for the same piece of software. For every piece of hardware you typically can only get paid once.
