Well Georgism says land deserves special treatment because "downtown San Francisco land" is a finite resource you can't make more of. Perhaps that would also apply to tech "real estate" like, 3 letter .com domains?
But I think a lot of big tech's expenses are engineer salaries in High Cost of Living areas, which really does come down to landowners preventing housing construction there.

(and companies absolutely do not pay their taxes on that: quite the opposite, they pay exorbitant compensation in order to convince people that no such taxes are required of them as corporations, and indeed to help persuade the owners of the mind-stuff that taxes themselves are problematic) (.com, ipv4 addresses - yes, examples of similar circumstances, but not the core)
