I think that is an odd comparison. Yes, there's parts of an industry like aerospace where innovation is slow, but then again if airplanes were build like web apps they'd get twice as heavy every year and fall out of the sky once per day.

Compared to the relatively high engineering standards and slow but at least continuous improvements in actual engineering disciplines, software is built so badly most of it should never see the light of day. If most machines we build were as insecure and crappy as software we'd have brought the Code of Hammurabi back already.
