Isn't an invention just an implementation of an idea. I also don't understand why many accepy patents except for software



The problem here is your use of the word "just".

Consider the idea of "going to the moon" versus the implementation of Project Apollo.


The idea of going to the moon is not patentable. The implementation of Project Apollo may be patentable.
