The tech industry has been complicit in this, and I think how the Democrat party resonates with them can be summarized as such:
> What you can control cannot hurt you.
I think this explains why those in the tech industry either stand firmly and resolutely with the government (and firmly belonging to the Democrat party), or their political allegiance follows along Libertarian lines because such statements instill a strong sense of anxiety and trepidation.
Are you saying the democratic party controls tech or the other way around? Neither is true. The tech industry is phenomenally impotent in political issues, and neither party cares enough about tech to want to control it.
The tech industry is to the democratic party like the faithful wife who gets cheated on. Tech folks vote reliably democrat, or not at all, so there is zero reason to care about their interests.
