This is what I call first person problem. I have had two separate careers spanning decades each: software and military. Then because of community connections and decades spent talking with military members who themselves have other primary professions it seems clear software has a problem of self orientation that I don't see in any other profession except education. Entertainment may have this too, but I don't have any exposure to that industry.
Extreme self orientation is the inability to perceive the world outside of what is immediately limiting or gratifying to the person in question. This impacts perceptions of risk, statistics, measures, power distance, empathy, social intelligence, and much more. Convicted criminals acting in their own interests convicted of white collar crimes in industries like law and finance demonstrate this first person problem less than the average participant in education and software, which could be horrifying except many of those guys are sociapaths with high social intelligence and learned masking behaviors.
Outside of employment extreme self orientation is typically associated with a variety of anti-social behaviors like: autism, narcissism, sociopathy, and more. These are mental health concerns because they are limiting to the person in question and/or harmful persons around them.
The difference between our comments is that your comment was littered with first person pronouns. It was all about what you witnessed in limited contexts and what affects you. My comment was about the industry at large absent any participation from myself.

But we are both humans, limited by our own experiences.
I have no problem admiting these are my own deductions about the world and my own perspective.
Unless I had scientific data to back the generality of my statements, I see no reason to use such a third person view.
