The problem with this definition is that it assumes that a person seems politics as a struggle between the powerful and powerless. I would say good satire is satire that correctly mocks an argument or action that is wrong, hypocritical, etc. now matter who is saying/doing it. In this case, it is mocking people who claim that people in tech (A) don't deserve their salaries and (B) shouldn't be spending them the way they are. Both these criticisms are unreasonable (although not necessarily for the reasons given in the article) and deserve to be made fun of. First, all salaries are a matter between the employer and employee. There is no other basis for deciding what salary is fair. Something similar applies to lifestyle choice. How people decide to spend their money is not anyone else's business. The attitude of "I'm privileged so you can say anything about me, and I have to interpret it as valid criticism" is not reasonable.
