It could have been me 15 years ago but these days I find this kind of attitude to be frankly very whiny.

Building software lends itself to change and iteration more readily than building in the physical world. As an industry or discipline, it is also vastly younger (and therefore immature) compared with eg. our shared knowledge of how to do construction projects that has developed over thousands of years. The realm of what is possible and impossible is also much different. A laypersons understanding of what goes into building a home versus building a web application are much different.
