Both lawyers and doctors have powerful associations that control and regulate the labor supply via a certification process. Technology doesn't have this. In fact, technology has the opposite: a H1B program that brings in more and more labor supply to keep wages low.

If there were no government there would still be doctors and programmers (albeit probably fewer), but there wouldn't be any lawyers.
