Ok, but "tech" is not just Silicon Valley. And as a whole, there is absolutely bias [0]. In the US, mostly for older, white males, in Europe, mostly for younger white males.

Your own study showed a preference for women. Look at the row "female gender" in the results table: https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S00142921220019...

More positive bias than negative.

None of the DEI programs I've encountered have focused on age or disability. Only race and gender, mostly the latter.
