If you go further back in history, we went even longer without building any software!

No clue whether that's a good argument.

What.

The argument is that determinism in compilers isn't particularly important for building software because we did without it for a long time.

Your argument would be... that building software isn't particularly important for building software...?

The actual argument you'd be making would be something like, building software isn't particularly important for survival. Which is pretty obviously true, for the reason you state.
