Obviously tech is more of a meritocracy than other industries, but I think this article is meant to be a critique of the often-told narrative that the tech industry is a pure meritocracy where everything is fair and even and perfect. Just because tech is doing better than other industries doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement.
That isn't really saying anything then, is it? Every form of employment requires people have transportation, and a way to clean their clothes, communicate etc. Those are societal obstacles to employment, not tech's barrier to employment.
The barriers applicable to a certain form of employment have to be unique to that form of employment, like the prerequisite of a college degree or institutional certification.
