I generally agree with your post, but this part: "they provide literally no benefit to society" broadly could apply to lots of industries. Movies, TV, pro sports, music, tourism, etc. People will take issue with the inclusion of some of these, but that's the point: "no benefit to society" is entirely subjective. Another way to look at it is the benefit to society is "fun", and that people value fun things. So while I am in general agreement overall, I think it's not really fair to single out tech companies for being exceptionally efficient at providing the "fun" benefit to society.
