Software is cheaper, when production hits masses. For instance a volume
control on a car stereo - normal, old-style potentiometer has been
around for decades, it's easy to manufacture, it's easy to use and it's
easy to implement. Still the cheapest hardware use software for the
matter, as it can be done without extra hardware (there's already a DAC
or DSP oslt, which can handle the volume code).
