Most of the population could not sub into most tech work. I know this because a large portion of the population can hardly even use tech, beyond the lowest hanging fruit like social media and other ultra-refined experiences. You have a high opinion of the average person and that's fine but it will stick out in conversations like this.
Your attempts to get them into tech are great! That'll test whether they're capable of doing the work, get them out of the "harder" work if they are, and is an actionable effort rather than signaling your distaste for some alleged injustice.
