A software developer in a fairly standard job in the Western world likely earns double the minimum wage. Someone at an adtech company could well be an order of magnitude higher.
5, 10 or (insert value here)% of that is an amount you won't even notice but would make a spectacular difference if we all did it, and if you're somewhere like SF or London your money will go a hell of a long way elsewhere in the world.
I've committed to putting at least $500 a month towards a selection of charities and plan to increase that over time. I don't need more toys.
The article here also mentions the idea of negotiating, or strongarming, your way into a shorter working week in order that you have time to act politically. I agree with that wholeheartedly - variety is the spice of life in any case!
