I personally don't think the lack of diversity is a choice. My experience is software companies would like to be more diverse than they are - but are actually grateful if they can simply get someone with the right tech skills. There are many initiatives in play, but it will take time for the effects to feed through.

> if they can simply get someone with the right tech skills. I think this may definitely be part of it. If diversity has any effects, then it's quite likely they're outweighed by other business factors that may have a bigger influence on the success of the company (like financial backing, an original/meaningful idea, high levels of skill in tech/design/marketing, simply being in the right place at the right time to capture an upcoming market, etc). But perhaps it may be visible in a situation with evenly matched companies on all those other things.
