Recency bias. GS moved their tech to NJ in 2005 after they put up their building in jersey city, while also shedding weight on some I-Bankers who didn't want "New Jersey" on their business cards.
Nowadays, it's true. They can't put tech in NJ because no 25-30 year old NYC-dweller would do that commute when the city is filled with tech jobs.
My brother works there and told me how odd it was that during the interview they explicitly stated they would never move him to NJ. He didn't understand what they meant until we had this exact discussion.

- busterarm 10y agoThe JPMC moves were something like 10-15 years ago and none of the tech people I know there moved (only a handful even made it to Jersey). They all quit instead.
