The tech industry overall is rapidly becoming more professional. In many places, looking and sounding "right" can outweigh superior technical skill. I wouldn't be entirely shocked if some day, most of the industry renders those "outcasts" as unwelcome.

Eh, maybe. Tech goes in cycles. I remember waaaaay back in the early 90s when IBM bought Lotus. Mitch Kapor commented that software was no longer startup industry. It had become corporatized. In the meantime the outcasts found new stuff to build.
