It is interesting, for cultural and for business reasons, most tech companies do not use debt markets. (Tech companies-- especially software companies-- generate lots of cash flow and aren't as capital intensive as other industries).

There are also federal tax breaks that encourage the use of debt financing.

Your country's tax system is not alone in that regard.
