It might be, but it is also a shared culture. People like to work with people who have a shared background and understanding. The natural sciences are similar in that you have to have a PhD to be taken at all seriously even though most of the time there is really no difference between a person with a BSc and 5 years of experience and someone with a PhD. |

This is clearly the case for many people, judging from the complete lack of diversity at many tech companies.
For a "meritocracy" Silicon Valley sure loves credentialing.
