But there is a difference. The whole purpose of nursing is for the well being of the patient, there isn't nursing without the patients needs at the center of it.
But software can be like art. It can be made purely for the creators pleasure and it can still exist as good software whether other people use it or not. There definitely was a point in history when the Linux kernel was used by just one person only for himself.
And sometimes, rarely, the creator knows better. The whole faster horses idea.
I think the role of the creator is important in many industries where good taste is a major factor. Like, UI for instance, many people won't be able to put into words what would be a good UI for them, but a designer might have a better idea than the users themselves.

I must be the only one here who isn't crazy about bitcoin but likes the idea behind the nostr network.

It's an amazing book. Changed the way I looked at money. Greaber has another book the dawn of everything which is equally amazing.
