Since the roads are paid for by taxes, the software engineers are paying more for them in the first place. Why shouldn't they get more of the benefit?

Because a civilized society is not about "who pays more gets the more benefit" from public infrastructure.
A dog-eats-dog jungle of underdeveloped monkeys in clothing, on the other hand, sure.
