Why is it only drug dealers and software developers call their clients 'users'?
Answers:
Drug Dealers don't call their clients users. The Media refers to them in a derogatory manner as a means of social stigmatising.
Software developers think of themselves as more capable than the technophobes and so also treats them in a derogatory manner. It is a way of retaining property rights you don't own the programme you're just an "end user".
perhaps they are the same people

The cancer support center my friend works in in Tottenham also calls its clients 'users'.
Because they both have customers who are totally dependant upon them.

Possibly for the same reason that railway companies nowadays insist on calling passengers "customers" instead. It's just a fad, and sounds fancy.
