The difference is with software you are buying a license to use said software, you're not actually buying the physical disc, that's just the device they use to get the software to your computer (of any kind). If they said ahead of time "Here are all of the activities and locations that come included with Destiny" and then you found out that some of those activities (which are included on the disc) cost an additional fee, that's dishonest and appalling.

I don't know about that. Buying the physical disk is a different scenario than buying the digital version of a game (which, in XBL's case, is a license that can be revoked on ban). See the Xbox One DRM fiasco of 2013.

Slight edit: I do realize that you said software, and that license argument pretty much applies to all software, ever. Unfortunately, from what I have seen in the past year is that people view games on disk as a physical product more than just software. It's a bit annoying, but that's the mentality these days.
