Will Tech always be lucrative?

I know the Tech vs IB debate has been beaten to death on this forum. Those who advocate for tech say that finance isn't what it used to be, that regulations have made it less appealing than alternative career paths. My question is, will the same thing happen to the tech industry? Over the past few years, there has been a growing animosity towards tech giants like Google, Amazon, Twitter, FB, etc. Will this industry cease to be a lucrative career path if/when regulations set in? Or will the sector still be booming given that tech is the future? What will happen to salaries? I'll admit, I don't fully understand the tech industry dynamics, so maybe someone more enlightened can help out. Yeah we are trying to predict the future right now, but any insight/speculation would be much appreciated.

 

Yeah, I guess I'm talking specifically about software engineering, like the jobs at FAANG+
