Do you think the product is not the code?

From a user perspective, yes. The product is what it does, not how it does it.

But for the person building the product it very much is how it does it.

It isn't, no one is buying code on it's own - but it's a component of the product. I dislike the phrasing above since it assumes the two are distinct things.

Honestly, it never was. Personal projects not withstanding, if there is a product that should always be the focus. Code is only a means to that.
