Big Tech DEI programs are IMO downstream of the “My college roommates and I” of startups. If startups won’t hire women or black people and you need 50k new employees this year, where’s your comparative advantage?

I am massively ignorant of history in this regard but it definitely doesn’t *feel* like something the government would be good at?

I think in the case of tech in particular government intervention is not likely to take any form that would result in increased competition stuff like GDPR has exactly the opposite effect, compliance costs are so high only large firms can meet them and it kills entrant firms

I think that's probably right; the profits from oligopolistic competition allow a lot of barnacles to form.

Or a mandatory essential, as the most competitive part of tech is hiring.

Or maybe that wouldn't be the case if there was more competition in the market? I find that unlikely as all the other factors of production in tech are basically free.
