Because programs don't stand alone and work by themselves. There is commonly software in the form of an OPERATING SYSTEM that manages the files and hardware associated with the machine you have the programs or applications installed on. An application might work on a whole slew of different types of machines...but each machine typically has its own OS to manage everything.
