Taylor Swift (and other super stars) don't play shows in 99% of American municipalities.

Companies want top talent for their workforce. They naturally will set up shop where they have easiest access to this talent (hence why you get industry hubs in different locales). The companies move to the spots for workers, and the works move to those spots for the jobs.

There's an alternative world where SF and San Jose look like Singapore or Hong Kong, and policy is one of the big differences
