Your professor wants to protect you from wasting your time with writing something nobody will be interested to read.

About points 1 and 2: Your work should not be redundant. There is no point in writing the same thing someone else has already written. When you do proper research before writing your essay (academics call that "literature review") you should easily find works about the same topic. When you take a closer look at them you might find out that your way isn't actually unique. Likely other people have already tried the same thing, found out the flaws about the method and improved on it. Then your contribution wouldn't really add anything to the discussion.

You can't prove a negative, of course. When you can't find anything despite doing a thorough research, that work might exist but be too obscure or behind a paywall, so there might in fact be demand for a more available essay on the issue.

About point 3: Every software should have an essay written about it which explains what it's good for, how to use it and how it works. It's called a documentation. But it is unlikely that this document will have much value for people who don't directly work with the program. There are few software projects where the techniques used to develop them are so revolutionary and unique that it is worth writing an essay just about that. Chances are that your processes and patterns are already described by existing literature. In the unlikely chance that you indeed found some revolutionary new way to develop software, then I (as a professional software developer) would still not be interested in reading about that until you have a history of multiple successful projects where your methods have proven to be useful.
