Initially yes, but once the rich demonstrate successful aging reversal tech, and use it on themselves then all their followers will sit up and take notice, if bill gates made many billions selling Microsoft Windows with every new computer then how much would insurance companies charge if you got your anti-aging tuneup every 10 years ???

I'm comfortable asserting that that ain't how it's gonna go.

Software is nearly free to replicate and apply. Anti-aging technology will manifestly not be. You've constructed a near-perfect example of false equivalence. A much better comparison would be the current-day bespoke treatments for rare disorders and cancers. I.e. the ones that run to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per treatment.
