Another way to think about is that finance attracts people who care about money, tech does not.

Tech people care about money. This whole thread wouldn’t exist otherwise. It’s just that they also derive some part of their identities from the cult-like, eschatological fantasies that are very much a part of Silicon Valley culture. By contrast, people in finance would never try to claim that they’re building a god. They already know the only god is money.
