You are reading that way to broadly. The judge stated that the iOS upgrade did not qualify as a good or service as it was free and could quickly be undone. He did not issue any broad ruling that would affect the SoS industry, he issued a narrow ruling that stated she did not have standing to sue Apple to remedy a defective good or service if she did not in fact pay for a good or service.

software did not qualify as a “good or service”

Ooh boy, that one’s going to end up hurting the “Software as a Service” crowd… Not a good ruling at all.

What does Obama have to do with it?

Didn’t this woman know you could switch back to iOS 3 in like 20 minutes if you did not prefer iOS 4? Probably just needed to format and reset the phone. I’m quite sure the Apple genius bar would have done that for free, while she waited, but she had to lawyer up instead.

Ah, another frivolous lawsuit. Enjoy, trial lawyers, Obama loves you.
