"productivity improvements in farming destroyed the small farmer"
Because the productivity improvements required large amounts of capital in the form of land and equipment.
In most of the software world capital is not anywhere near as important as it is in other industries. The main input is labor.
I wonder what would have happened in the farming industry if land and equipment was free. I suspect the split of profits between employees and employers would be a lot more even.
