Oh I agree, but for a lot of people techies are part of the problem itself. Gentrification is real, and the companies themselves are not seen as helpful either. And when techies do donate, they're often to pie in the sky stuff like AI alignment , or the giant long now clock , that comes off as out of touch at best.
I know for a fact that there's plenty of kind empathetic tech workers but I'm sure there are kind lawyers too and they don't have a lovely broad strokes reputation either
