You just stated the reason why the tech companies are there. Feedback loops are a real thing that happens.
As a result of all the tech companies being there, the tech VCs are there, the recruitment agencies are there, etc, etc. That’s just how this works. To see the original factors you’d need to look at the history of the region, but beyond a certain point these things become self sustaining.
Sure there are forces in the other direction, and some individuals or companies might find them compelling, but specialisation works.
