A low average age isn't an indicator of ageism by default. It would make sense that people of different ages would be interested in different types of employers. Consider the following job characteristics: 1. Business travel is a plus to the young crowd and a minus to the older. 2. Legacy technology is a plus to the older crowd and a minus to the younger. 3. Large vs small teams. A younger group will have more generalists, and older group more specialists. A younger team will be small with minimal layers in the way. An older team will need a larger group to support the specialization gained over the years of experience. Picture a large company that designs motherboards. No travel, established technology, large teams of specialists. Now envision a distributed team of <10 working on some new document classification web app on AWS. I'd wager that a completely different age group would be found in each circumstance. Not necessarily due to ageism.
