That's why the famously over regulated California doesn't have any sort of tech scene. All the best big startups usually start somewhere more business friendly like Mississippi or Tennessee

Is there an inverse relationship between "places people would like to live" and "places that are business friendly"?
Not really.
The level of regulation between California and Germany is much wider than between California and Tennessee. Ever tried to incorporate a GMBH?
And yet many parts of Germany have a much more thriving tech scene than Tennessee...
Because the friction of moving from Tennessee to California is very low. The valley is full of founders and developers from middle America. Marc Andreesen is from a town of 800 in Indiana. Low regulation is a necessary but not sufficient criteria for a thriving entrepreneurial economy.
