True, but granularity does matter....and hardware is typically a lot fine
grained than software in that regard. And processor microcode is coarser
than PLC's or HDL/FPGA and the like.
> Software/Hardware is a marketing topic, no more no less.
I think that is an oversimplification, in the real world. There are
practical implications that lead one to use the tools appropriate to the
level of granularity that makes sense.
> One is able to move _any_ functionality from HW into SW and vice versa.
Yes, but just because you can does not imply that you should. ;-)
