This take isn’t uncommon but I think it’s far too simple. We do have members of Congress with CS degrees but they all have advisors and groups like the Congressional Research Service because nobody is an expert on everything. The problem isn’t lack of knowledge but the fact that this isn’t happening in a vacuum.

The lobbyists you mentioned, for example, aren’t like mosquitoes which just show up in DC — companies and industry groups hire them to make sure members of Congress hear their preferences. Some are hired by tech companies, others by their opponents or special interest groups. The tech companies have a ton of money and an enviable reputation as one of the best growth industries for the future so they’ve been very successful at preventing or defanging regulation. That doesn’t mean that people don’t know what’s going on – more commonly, they don’t think it’s a problem, know they don’t have the votes, or have other priorities.
