Well to be fair if you add "validation" the turnaround for any noncomplex piece of software can reach months pretty quickly as well.

But yeah I'm not gonna argue that sw isn't faster than hw in 99% of the cases.

Up to 4 layers is pretty standard these days. It's more than 8 where you start running into issues.
