It's entirely unfair to put #6 on that list.

  Here is the logic behind #6 being in the list: Many attractive markets are heavily regulated. Just ask Uber. Think of customs, law enforcement, transportation, education, finance, health. So far, tech industry is doing great in unregulated industries and has a lot of tough barriers in government controlled areas. Any step towards more liberties is a sign that new previously regulated markets can open up for innovation.

    That would remain true if there didn't exist a tech sector.
