I think the tech page used to look more like the travel page today

https://www.nytimes.com/section/travel

If you take a look, its not doing investigations. Its just talking about cool places. Tech used to just be talking about cool gadgets.

I believe them when they say it was "top down" but also it was self-evident that this would happen if tech companies went to a small part of the economy to the biggest in the world.

You can talk about the rivalries between NYTimes and FB/Twitter - but ultimately it just seems like they decided to treat it like a serious matter which was predictable/good. If overnight the airline and hotel companies became the most powerful in the world, then I think the travel section would be more critical and it would have nothing to do with NYT trying to get revenge.
