Anecdotally I believe tech companies, because the numbers and proportions listed by the article do not line up with job applications that I've seen. Imo there are a lot of overlapping problems, but none of them are a conspiracy alluded to by the title. A big one is that companies are bad at segmenting work between engineers and technicians (or whatever term you want to apply there) and if they don't make the distinction they'll have the same hiring requirements, or worse - treat the segmentation as a division of seniority and not skill set. I'd like to see us start investing more in associates degrees for CS and value the graduates like we do other tradesmen.
