Well, when you narrow the scope to "obvious tech" and brand names end users recognize. However, Silicon Valley is still small compared to the influence of, say, Wall Street.
I guess what I'm saying is that some other institutions may benefit from letting them occupy the public eye.
If you compare: Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Google (Alphabet), and Microsoft on the one hand to JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs on the other, the tech companies have 2.6 times the market cap, 1.6 times the revenue, 1.1 times the net income available to common (a measure of profit) and .7 times the domestic work force.
I wouldn't say they are small compared to Wall Street.
