You bring up an interesting point. I didn't qualify compelling but, you're right, it can mean many things and have many aspects. You can say both Rebecca Black's Friday and Bach's Goldberg Variations are compelling, but they are night and day different.
Software, like architecture, usually doesn't have the type of hedonism you're speaking about (as far as I can tell). What people like is what they enjoy using. They often may not even know it, but find they're using it all the time, for example. And that is exactly that quality/satisfaction that you're talking about.
