I note that all three points you make:
1. I agree with and 2. Don't contradict anything I said
The question at hand is whether there is reason to believe that Pittsburgh's future growth will outperform its past growth because of CMU's output.
Second, categorizing Seattle or LA as some kind of "up and coming" business area is disingenuous. Seattle has always had Microsoft, now also Amazon, and I'm sure many companies spun off from former employees of those.
LA is the second biggest city in the US, with all kinds of businesses and industries there. It's not trying to be the "Next Silicon Valley", it has it's own firmly established identity.
