But then he doesn't have to *manufacture* every copy of the software like one would a car; his efforts go into making just one copy. So how right is it to charge for the subsequent copies for which he spends nil?

Perfectly legit and ethical and right. Let him decide how much money he wants to make and what he should charge. Only those who find value will buy it. That is why MRTP and antitrust laws exist to ensure (in theory) that you are not forced to go along with a product/price just because it is the only one available.
