You're saying that software engineers are in the role because they have no other option? No upper-middle-class people in the position? What are you talking about?
You're missing the point anyway. The article made it pretty clear that this AI amplified biases humans already have about women applicants to tech positions. Stating your own biases about women make no sense to the topic, or to the argument you seem to be trying to make.
Janitors are worth talking about as well (women in the same job usually have a different title with less authority and less pay), but high-status, highly-paid, highly influential jobs are where it's most important to avoid bias, and so we talk about those more.

There are enthusiastic people who start with enthusiasm and can keep that enthusiasm. Most begin with practical concerns. And most of those who don't begin with stay with. he And yes, rich people, upper echelon, people of means are rare in the industry
