Sorry, but you've gone wrong already. You can't ask "why something is true"
until you first establish that the something is in fact true. There are
*plenty* of businesses where a software based router is quite preferable due to
its lower cost and increased flexibility. Proof: How many "software-based
routers" (whatever that really means) has Cisco sold that are making their
shops very happy?
