I have been a programmer since I was 13, and now it has been 17 years. I am totally with you on this. I think techies tend to overestimate their experience outside of their immediate area to a degree that I would describe as arrogant. As a person who adopted the tech sphere, as his community, it is extremely sad to start to notice this. Techies tend to be good at tangible, measurable, immediate facts. Not so much when it comes to any social situations, let alone bigger concepts like social evolution of trends and their impacts. Hence you get sorry attempts at apologies from big name tech bros for terrible influences on society.
