Sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Not only do KickStarter and IndieGogo have countless other software-only projects, they have many other projects with few costs other than the creators' time, like digital comic books and music.
If you feel that's not worthy of backing, fine, but I'd hardly call it "abuse".
Not to be unfair, but my point at least was that it isn't okay. This is what a large chunk of us do for a living. What difference does it make by whom or by what mechanism our work is compensated?
Honestly, and I really wish you all best, but I think this is abuse of what kickstarter and indiegogo were for.
