No, it doesn't. Because not all software companies can be a) under influence of a foreign government potentially hostile towards yours and b) software has varying degrees of replacement difficulty.

Example - building an entire smart city network on top of Huawei network gear. It would be very difficult to rip it out and replace on a whim if China suddenly decided to side with Russia in a war against the West, which is literally a possibility floating in the air right now. End state - you have a hostile actor who has access & control of your critical infrastructure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
