Japan had 3 times the population and a 20 year head start. Korea was and always will be be constrained by its size. Korea will never have a sufficiently large domestic market or talent pool to achieve the economies of scale that larger countries can: hence self sufficiency and internationally competetive software companies will always be out of its reach. Compared to Japan, Korea punched far above its weight class.

Korean domestic software ecosystem is more complete and advanced than that of the larger European nations, and arguably better than Japan's as well. Samsung, although not primarily a software company, does have a large offering of good software products as well. Unlike the Japanese, whom exhibit an unexplainable lack of aptitude for software, Korean software engineers are very good. High value software giants only exist in two countries in the world, so it's a bit unrealistic to expect Korea to have its own software giants. Economies of scale is king in software, and the US is never going to allow any country in the core US led economic and financial bloc to compete in software. If any country attempted to do so, it'd be instantly Plaza Accorded.

I mean it really doesn't help that half of Korea is another country and they have a full fighting force with nukes. It also doesn't help that Kim Jong Un wasn't some dumb kid given the throne as expected and is in fact outplaying all SK leaders geopolitically since he started. Guy is way smarter than they think and is actual very ruthless and willing to act when opportunity presents itself.

When we look at Taiwan in contrast we should be almost counting our blessings its a small island with no nukes run by idiots so people have no issue helping China. Really shows how relative this all is.

Both SK and NK leadership recognize the fact that Korean reunification is not up to them, which is a drastically different situation from China and Taiwan.
