Technically even external digital thermos are software temp sensors.
The difference is the quality of parts. Which would you trust more. An algorithmic temp sensor based on a $100 product designed to sense the lack or increased resistance of a material based on temperature and that can be calibrated? Or would you prefer the temp sensor included in a $50-$500 motherboard that you have no clue which they used?
Seriously my $10 temp probe (+13 shipping) reads about 140 degrees lower than my one included on my ROG motherboard. So what maybe 50 cents for the mobo temp sensor?
