Isn't it much simpler. Given that Tech, compared to other industries (Mining, Energy, etc) is still in its early years - most tech companies optimize for Growth. While more established industries optimize for profitability / stability. What's happening now in Tech is that companies are beginning to graduate to these later years where they run into natural total address market plateaus where they need to shift from Growth to Profitability/Stability. (Think Netflix). And this transition from being a Growth company, to a matured business - is a hard transition for any company.
