I think in terms of tactics, modern chess softwares or engines are better than human grandmasters but, strategically, the latter are still better.

That is certainly still the case, but less and less so. For one thing, in some sense the purpose of strategy is to place your pieces in a way that in the long run make favorable tactics inevitable. As look aheads get longer and longer, those early "strategic" moves are found that enable the deep tactics.

To put it another way, if you had infinite lookahead (clearly impossible with current technology), everything would in some sense be tactics.

Chess is 90% tactics, said IM Daniel Rensch. Mikhail Botvinnik said that strategy is the server of tactics. Something like that.
