The word "tech industry" is one of the more hilarious terms. Sure, some startup with a website and App, is "technology", but aircrafts, cars, rockets, heavy machinery (which all make heavy use of complex software, with rigorous safety constraints and which all involve ongoing academic research, as well as extremely detailed Design processes) is not "technology".

Truly one of the more grandiose terms people in the software industry use to describe themselves. Same with every single person calling themselves an engineer, something which in many countries would be illegal.
