I have a huge beef with academia and science and all as it exists today, but your description misses how thankless and exhausting $techCO jobs can also be, on top of working for companies like fb or google that are endlessly wrapped in intrigue, or working hard for what at the end of the day is a mundane purpose like increasing ad revenue which is fundamentally about making other people more wealthy than you. A lot of the issues with academia depends on what specialization you choose, especially if you choose something closely related to theory. Particle physics is a great example of this and given that those who popularize science seem to hold up such pursuits as "pure", "fundamental", and thus important.
