Yes taxes are good for companies, not all companies however. Boeing and Lockheed Martin comes to mind when thinking of companies more or less funded by tax payers. Also it's really convenient for big companies to be able to "order" educated engineers letting the tax payers handle the risk of failure. Which is why universities teach java since the government have negotiated with the industry to fill their needs. This is something that the Germans have developed for example and explains how the car manufacturers get their employees. Startups small and agile however maybe don't have a need for java developers or whatever last generation tech stack as they have no technical debt nor would they be invited to these meetings as everything is planned 5 years ahead at least among other reasons. Still they have to pay the bill for an army of java programmers even though node.js might be the tool suitable for their needs and might as well be better of learning motivated high school dropouts said technology.
