Morphology
The meaning 'a computer program sold as a commercial item' is directly and compositionally derived from 'software' (programs/data) + 'product' (an item or outcome, often for sale). This straightforward noun–noun compound follows common formation patterns in English (and similar patterns exist in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The term software product comes from the simple image of computer software being sold like a shop item or a product. That's why it means 'a program sold to customers'.
