There’s a good reason for that, which is that the patent grant—a temporary monopoly granted by the government—is supposed to be given out only to “promote the progress of science and useful arts.” Just like monkeys can’t get a copyright on a photo , because it doesn’t incentivize the monkey to take more photos, software can’t get patents, because it doesn’t respond to incentives.
