That's a fair question, and while tech companies are surely employing younger people in general, I don't think that is purely the motivating factor. I think people are trying to get away from the previously stuffy office environments - trying to make everyone genuinely enjoy their work and co-workers even during off hours. As far as commute goes - this could certainly be true for NYC which is where I am as I don't think a single person drives in to the office unless it is a special occasion - though I am not sure how much of a factor it might be for other localities.
