I wonder what they'd say if said tech companies opted to increase salaries in lieu of stock based compensation. After all, they complain at Costco for compensating their workers too well and giving them benefits that are too good. Then you look at Wall Street and realize that the companies have some of the highest worker compensation expense ratios around (though I think this is a model to emulate for tech companies rather than shun. Say what you will about WS, but despite their outsized pay for directors at the top, they do compensate the average worker better than other industries)
