> If tech companies are seen to be diverse, welcoming environments, maybe more kids of all backgrounds will get interested in tech in the first place.

Exactly. If there is no incentive, and no examples of diverse workplaces, how can a young person decide that it's even a feasible option to pursue such a career?

On top of the fact that it has nothing to do with hiring "less qualified" minorities just fill some supposed quota. This is just patently false.
