Interesting question: what other industries share some of these characteristics (but not all)? I think some people in tech assume that a lot of advantages we have are present everywhere, but they're not, entirely. A lot of industries share some of this innate conservatism, but in different degrees. The first one that occurs to me is medical. Elizabeth Holmes' big problem (besides being dishonest, of course) was that she thought she could apply the Steve Jobs paradigm to medical testing. She would say "first they fight you, then you change the world" as if that would work everywhere. It doesn't. Your risks are enormously higher in medical, and there are government regulations everywhere you look. But there are probably other industries like that, too. Autos, maybe.
